The management and staff of Mercury International Lottery and Betting Company on the 19th March 2025 donated food items to the Sunsans Bay community in Freetown.

Presenting the food items to Councillor Mohamed Fofanah, who received the food items on behalf of the Susans Bay community, Allieu Bockarie, a staff member of Radio Mercury, said that the donation was from the staff and management of Mercury International.

This, he said, is the way the Company used to share their profits with their customers and non-customers. Allieu told the councillor that Mercury betting is a winning to the individual and a profit for the nation. As such, he said it is the profit from the lotto, and the football betting that they used to give out scholarships, donate to fire and flooding disaster victims, build schools, give out medical helps and donate food items to vulnerable communities.

Allieu told the Councillor that this is not the first time that Mercury has donated food items to Susans Bay. He called on the Susans Bay people to Mercury betting their first and priority among the lot so that more profit will come to be shared among the people.

Receiving the food items, Councillor Fofanah thanked the management and staff of Mercury, especially when it is during Ramadan. He went on to say that this is the first time as a Councillor receiving food items from Mercury for the community. Councillor Fofanah went on to say that he is taking the food items and the message to the Susans Bay community people.

On the issue of playing Mercury games, he said 80% of the population plays Mercury games. He said his only advice is for the retailers to be transparent and give full respect to the customers.

Among the donated food items were bags of rice, bags of onions, Cow Bell Sachet milk powder, Boxes of tea leaf, cooking oil, Overtine, Padi Mayonnais,e Padi sardines and Luncheon meat.
