Bottle tops of all the three participating brands will carry a code under the crown for the duration of the promotion. “It’s pretty simple; when you buy a Bell, Tusker Malt Lager or Guinness, check under the crown for the code. SMS the code to 6050 and you stand a chance to win fantastic and life changing prizes,” Ocitti added.

We will have 4 regional celebrations in 4 major towns in Uganda. These celebrations will be a one stop center for fun.

UBL announced that they had set up 4 redemption centers spread across the country from which winners would reclaim their prizes. “We will have one center in each of the following towns; Kampala, Mbarara, Gulu and Mbale. For redeemable prizes such as motor bikes, vans and land, customers will need to come to a center nearest to them. They will be required to present their text message confirming the prize and provide proper identification whereas customers who win the instant prize (airtime) will have their accounts credited immediately,” Kagwa said.

All customer queries should be directed to our customer helpline; 0781847187 or our social media pages (Bell Lager, Tusker Malt Lager and Guinness),” she added.
