Keeping this in mind, we realized the immediate need of people to have some extra cash on hand to meet their daily needs. Therefore it was agreed that the prize for the competition would be $50,000 cash shared between 10 winners.”

Three winners each were randomly selected from Central, Western and Northern Divisions while 1 was selected from the maritime region.

They received $5,000 each.
