The premier Sports Betting Company in Sierra Leone, Mercury International on Wednesday, 1st April, 2026 launched the biggest-ever raffle draw promotion at the Lynzain Beach Bar and Restaurant at Aberdeen dubbed: Win Your Dream House.
The cost of the dream house according to Mercury International amounts to Eighty-One Thousand United States Dollars ($81,000) and that it is well furnished and is located in a very safe area in the country.
The raffle draw promo to win the “Dream House” started effectively on Wednesday, 1st April 2026 and will end on 20th July, 2026. The final draws for the raffle will begin on 21st and end on 22nd July 2026, coinciding with finale of the 2026 World Cup final and the handing over of the “Dream House” prize to the lucky winner will take place on 3rd August, 2026.
During the launching ceremony, the Managing Director of Mercury International, Martin Edmond Michael said Mercury International has the impressive history of handing out winning prizes to their lucky winners after every raffle ticket draws.
He maintained that their customers have over time won plethora of items including, phones, motorbikes, television sets, Kekehs, cash, cars, generators and many other prize items.
He disclosed that with this promotion, the company wants to give out to a lucky customer, something really big, and in this case, a well-furnished and guarded house in a safe environment. He said having a house is a very solid foundation of anyone’s life to be better and an open opportunity to grow.
Director Michael said what they are doing in this promotion is aimed at change life, because in the estimation of the company, owning a house is certain security for an improved life and a better future.
But he maintained that to win such a landmark prize, requires people to participate in the draws by accessing the Mercury International Lucky Bet.Com online portal.
He described the promotion as “the biggest” ever in the country by a betting company and assured customers that even after the close of the “Dream House” promotion, Mercury International will still continue with other attractive promotions to give more customers the chance of winning more prizes.
Director Michael however issued a strong warning that children below the age 18 years are disqualified from participating in the promotion’s draws or any of their products. He stated that defaulters when caught would be taken to face the full force of the law.
He further disclosed that the lucky winner would be contacted directly after the draw ends via the telephone number or email he or she would have provided through the portal and that the lucky winner once his or her contact has been established, would be given a full one week to respond, but also warned that such a winner’s entitlement is guaranteed only for that one week period and if the winner did not respond to the company’s calls and messages until the one week elapses, the company would be left with no other option but to another winner.
He therefore encouraged customers who are or would be participating in the draws to be vigilant with their phone calls and messages to ensure swift response to the call from Mercury International during the raffle draws.
He said if the first lucky person declared as winner surfaces after the mandatory one week and after another winner has been announced, that first declared winner who failed to comply will not be given the prize and for the sake of transparency, he or she would be shown proofs of his or her non-compliance.
He explained that as a company, they decided to allocate one week to the winner because, that he or she would be facing challenges of having top-up in his or her phone or that of electricity to charge his or phone.
Benjamin Menelik George, commonly called Drizilik, Brand Ambassador for Mercury International described the company as “a life-changing company” and guaranteed that the house prize is real.
Drizilik further stated that a house is one thing people always take as an achievement, adding that for people to qualify for this draw a person has to bet Two Hundred and Fifty Leones (Le 250) of any Vegas games and Fifty Leones (Le 50) on any sports betting game including the FiFA World Cup games.
Drizilik further stated that a person who bet on will have one raffle ticket, adding that the more people bet the more they win.
He said if a person bets on Vegas games that is Le 250, he or she has a chance to multiply his or her tickets when due process is followed.
He said all betting should be done on the Mercury International betting online platform as Sierra Leone is still taking time to go digital in everything.
He went on to describe Mercury International as a very reliable company with more opportunities to customers for betting online with plenty of optional games to play apart from lottery and sports betting.
He encouraged customers to go online and multiply their chances of winning the dream house.
Octavious Jackson, a staff of Mercury International explained that for a person to qualify to join the “Dream House” promo the customer must first register with the Bet Online Company and to qualify for the tickets, one has bet the sums of Le 250 and Le 50 respectively.
He said if a customer does not have in bulk the Le 250 or the Le 50, he or she can accumulate their pay in bits by playing Le 10 or Le 5 until they reach their target Le 250 or Le 50 to get one raffle ticket for the Vegas games.
He noted that this same procedure can be exercised for the sports betting draw as well.
Mr. Jackson also explained that the company is offering bonuses where if a customer handles two raffle tickets, the providers will create games for the Vegas and also betting, adding that every month one provider will be given to a customer and if the customer reaches the Le 250 and Le 50 thresholds respectively, the customer will earn double raffle tickets instead of one. This he emphasized is applicable also for the sports betting.
He indicated if a customer plays the World Cup game on their tickets and is able to generate up to Le 50, the customer earns him or herself two automatic raffle tickets.
He disclosed that the company would also be dishing out different bonuses from time to time; but that those bonuses will not be used to play games or to acquire raffle tickets.
Mr. Jackson maintained that it is the real money of the customer that will make him or her acquire raffle tickets.
