Sierra Leone’s leading Sports Betting and Lottery Company, Mercury International, continues with its unchallenged promotions in giving back to its loyal customers.

With its Exclusive Festival Promotion, the Company’s Online Department presented their star prize; an all-expense paid trip to Kenya, Nairobi, to lucky winner Solomon Davies.

Davies, who is a worker at Sierra Leone International Airport, will have to enjoy a five-day fully paid trip to Kenya with full accommodation and a sightseeing tour.

The young Davies who revealed he has been playing Mercury games for over five years, confessed  he was shocked and baffled to learn that he has emerged as the first price winner after being randomly selected by Mercury International service providers and partners in the UK.

Davies said, despite being shocked, he later felt truly blessed because, to be contacted amongst over millions of players was a blessing and a clear show of transparency by the company’s operational system.

“I know millions of people play more than I do, but I was fortunate to win. This will be my first time travelling out of Sierra Leone, and I am very grateful to Mercury International for this opportunity,” he said.

Lucky winner Davies also encouraged other customers to stay loyal to Mercury International, describing the company as “reliable and trustworthy.”

Mercury International Online Department Deputy Manager Octavus Jackson, after the presentation, said they are happy to see another Sierra Leonean smile as he secure his first time opportunity to travel outside the country”s shores through Mercury International Sports Betting  Company.

He said the idea behind the promotion was to give customers an experience beyond material prizes:

“Not everyone has the chance to travel outside Sierra Leone, so we decided to give our customers an opportunity to explore and experience life elsewhere.

Jackson revealed that the Exclusive Festival Promotion, which ran from May to July 2025, was designed to keep customers engaged during the off-season when major football leagues were not playing. Unlike previous promotions that only limit customers to one single game to qualify, this one allowed customers to qualify through both sports betting and Vegas games(Casino).

He said to earn a raffle ticket, customers had to spend at least NLe 20 daily on sports or turnover NLe 500 on Vegas games. Winners were selected randomly by Mercury’s service providers in the UK.

The Company’s Deputy Public Relations Manager, Sahr Morris Jr., congratulated Mr Davies for his win and advised customers to embrace all Mercury International products on offer.

Sarah Koroma, a young female student from Kabala, joined the toll of students who have become lucky winners of Mercury International Sports betting and lottery products last Thursday.
Sarah, who has been an avid player of the Mercury International virtual and online games over the past two years, received a key to the Tricycle Kekeh, which was the star prize of the Mercury International online Easter Vegas promotion.
Madam Koroma who is also an entrepreneur, expressed her excitement about the winning, saying, “I am so grateful for this win, as I wasn’t expecting this. Honestly, I am speechless.”
The ambitious young lady also promised that the Kekeh will be definitely used to further support her education and business.
Presenting the prizes to lucky winners at the company’s headquarters, Krootown Road, Freetown, Managing Director, Martin Michael, congratulated all the winners and thanked them for being loyal customers of Mercury International.
He encouraged other Mercury International customers to take advantage of any promotion the Company offers.
Deputy Online Manager, Octavious Jackson said Easter Vegas Promotion started from February 1 and ended on April 13 2025 and it was introduced to give opportunity to customers who are playing the Mercury International virtual games, the casino and other online games of the Company.
He further revealed that aside from Kekeh, the second prize winner rode away with a Motor Bike and Helmet, while the third prize winner collected a motorbike.
A young petty trader, Bockarie Bangalie, was one of the five winners of the Samsung A05 series mobile phones, while over 250 customers won other prizes, including free online vouchers.

The Easter Vegas promotion came just few months after Mercury International handed over a brand-new Suzuki car to Sorie Mansaray, the grand prize winner of the company’s “Start of Season Raffle Draw” in January, 2025.

A Sierra Leonean scrap metal hurdler, Idrissa Kamara, who lives in Freetown, has beaten the odds and won NLe 250,000 from the Nap 5+ in the Mercury Kakau Mid-day lottery draw.
38-year-old Kamara placed a little sum of Nle 50 as a stake on five numbers 24-42-14-41-65, which provided the winning that saw him walk away with a bumpy sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Old Leones.
The lucky Kamara admitted that his win came as a surprise, and it was his first ever biggest win in Mercury lottery games.
” It is a dream come true for me, and I felt so happy, for what I consider to be a victory,” he said, adding that the reality in the game is unchallenged.
“This is a game someone should never give up on, and I advise everyone to play responsibly and be consistent,”.
Kamara vowed to utilise the winnings in a better and reasonable way by developing his plot of land and utilising some of the funds towards his business.
In October 2024, one Mohamed Mansaray won NLe 390,000 from the Nap 4+ and Daily Mercury lottery draw.
Mansaray participated in two different draws. In the Nap 4+ draw, he placed a bet of NLe 20 and won NLe 300,000. In the daily draw, he bet NLe 10 and won NLe 90,000. His total winnings amounted to an impressive NLe 390,000.
