Collins Sefa From frantic verification missions to ear-piercing celebration screams, weekly winners in the ongoing Telecel 2Moorch Money promo are making memories they will never forget.
For many, the joy of winning GH¢20,000 is almost too good to believe. Some can’t contain their excitement, while others initially reject the news entirely—suspecting it might be a scam.
Paul Owusu: The ‘Verifier-in-Chief’
For Paul Owusu, a clearing agent at Tema Port, winning was the last thing on his mind. The Dansoman resident joined the promo “just for fun” after receiving multiple messages and seeing ads about it.
“I wasn’t interested at first because how could I win when others buy more airtime and bundles than I do?” Paul admitted.
When the winning call came, doubt kicked in. Paul grilled the Telecel official, then launched into a personal investigation—texting Telecel’s fraud reporting line, calling the customer service helpline, and even visiting the Dansoman retail shop. His final step was cross-checking the official promo phone number (0203000004) on the Telecel Play app.
Once convinced it was real, Paul attended the prize presentation at Kasoa New Market. He invested more than half of his winnings into fixed deposits, upgraded his iPhone, and improved his home.
“It’s real. Just use your normal airtime and bundle and you could win too. I’m still aiming for that GH¢1.2 million,” he said.
Abigail Ofori-Boateng: Screams of Joy in Ejisu
For Abigail Ofori-Boateng, a mother of three in Ejisu, Ashanti Region, the win came as a shock. While getting ready for work, she received the life-changing call from Telecel.
“I screamed so loud my children came running. We just kept screaming together,” she laughed.
An administrator at Herp Conservation Ghana, Abigail had joined the promo casually, without expecting to win. Skepticism from colleagues quickly disappeared when she showed them the funds in her Telecel Cash account.
Instead of splurging, Abigail invested in shares of listed companies.
“Money you didn’t work hard for is easy to waste, so I decided to grow it. The promo is real—just activate, recharge, and you could be the next winner.”

“There’s always that feeling that these things are for other people. I’ve learned that sometimes it’s okay to take a little leap of faith, even if it’s just activating your line and staying active.”
