Yebo Millionaires: here’s a more automated way of entering for free and you could win R1,000,000

Did you know that you if you are a Vodacom subscriber, then you get 2 free SMSs per week to enter the Yebo Millionaires competition?
Further to my posting in Aug 2009 “Yebo Millionaires: enter for free and you could win R1,000,000” I’ve discovered other ways of entering the competition – the most convenient is the UPICK (read “you pick”) option below:

You can enter the competition in one of three ways:

1. SMS any nine alphabet letters to 32082
Pick nine letters from the alphabet, in any order
Receive and answer an easy entry question via SMS
Wait for a confirmation SMS that includes your reference number
Your entry is instantly added to the weekly lucky draw
You are allowed to enter two free SMSs per week with any nine letters
Prepaid and Top Up customers get an additional SMS for every recharge made during the week
SMSs cannot be carried over to the following week and extra SMS entries will be charged at R1.00 (VAT included) per SMS

2. SMS ‘UPICK’ to 32082
With ‘UPICK’ Vodacom will randomly generate nine letters for you
SMS the word ‘UPICK’ to 32082 and the same UPICK will be entered for the next four consecutive draws
Your UPICK entry will use your free SMSs first
Each ‘UPICK’ equals one entry
Each ‘UPICK’ entry returns an SMS confirmation with a reference number, draw date and the nine lucky letters
After the four consecutive draws are used, an SMS reminder is sent to re-enter your ‘UPICK’
If you have entered more than two UPICK entries, additional entries will be charged at R1 per entry

3. SMS ‘SAME’ to 32082
SMS ‘SAME’ followed by a space and nine lucky letters to 32082 to enter the same letter for the next four consecutive draws
Your SAME entry will use your free SMSs first
Each ‘SAME’ SMS will count as one entry
Each ‘SAME’ entry returns an SMS confirmation with a reference number, draw date and the nine lucky letters
After the four consecutive draws are used, an SMS reminder is sent to re-enter your ‘SAME’ again
If you have entered more than two SAME’ entries, additional entries will be charged at R1 per entry

Yebo Millionaires: enter for free and you could win R1,000,000

Did you know that you if you are a Vodacom subscriber, then you get 2 free SMSs per week to enter the Yebo Millionaires competition?
Vodacom customers can send their nine lucky letters of the alphabet to 32082. Letters can be repeated.
A customer who has a 9 letter match will win R1 million, those that have an 8 letter match will win R200 000, for a 7 letter match customers will receive a R29 recharge voucher and for a 6 letter match customers will receive a R12 recharge voucher.

Once customers have SMS'ed in their nine letters, they will receive an SMS with an easy multiple choice question that must be answered correctly in order to qualify to play the game. Once the question has been correctly answered, Vodacom customers are now in the game and won't have to answer it again. The entrant will receive an SMS confirming that the entry has been accepted and entered into the draw and will include a reference number for the entry.

All Vodacom customers receive two free SMS's per week to enter the Yebo Millionaires game show. These SMS's will be loaded every Tuesday morning. Prepaid and Top Up customers will receive an additional free SMS for every recharge performed during the week that will be loaded at the time of recharge. Free game show SMS's can only be used to play Yebo Millionaires and SMS's not used during the week will unfortunately not be carried over to the next week. Customers can enter as many times as they like. Once the free game show SMS's have been used, a premium rate of R1.00 (VAT included) per SMS will be charged.

(Prepaid customers must have recharged at least once in that week in order to play the game)

Entries close at 12:00 every Tuesday, the day of the draw. A random selection mechanism will be used to choose the nine (9) winning letters and the weekly results will be audited by Vodacom's independent auditors. The winning letters will be revealed on a televised game show that takes place on SABC 1 on Tuesdays just before 18:30.

Update on 18Jan2010:
Cost of the wildcard has gone up to R75, but still well worth it!  A single adult’s entrance into Cape Point costs R75.  Children under 12 cost R10 – so pay the R10 per child and save your 12 entries for adults.
This offer is not limited to a family – so a husband and wife can each get their 12 entry wildcard once every 12 months.  Thanks to a lady at the Century City information centre for this information.
Don’t forget to take your ID or driver’s license when entering the parks.
