Whether you’re new to Oneplay or you’ve been listening to winning calls on the radio for months, chances are you’ve heard one or two conspiracy theories. Maybe someone told you the winners are pre-picked, or you believe nobody really gets the money.
Let’s clear the air.
Here are the top 5 myths about Oneplay and the truth behind them.
1. “Dem already know who them go pick”
This is the most common myth we hear. The truth is, every draw is random. Tickets are entered into our secure system, and when it is time to pick a winner, the presenter uses a verified randomizer tool to select an entry. If the selected winner does not answer their phone, we redraw immediately. There is no backstage list. Nobody knows who the winner will be until it happens live.
2. “You must register before you can win”
Not true. If you dial the USSD code from your phone and successfully buy a ticket, you’re in. While registering online has its benefits like seeing your ticket history or receiving winnings directly to your wallet, it is not required to win. Your phone number is automatically linked to your entry.
3. “Nobody actually wins”
Thousands of players have won and we’ve shared many of their calls live on air. From ₦25,000 wins to ₦2 million jackpots, the stories are real. If you’re still unsure, visit our winners stories or check our Instagram (@oneplayng) to hear real people being called in real time.
Nobody knows the winner until it happens live.
4. “You must buy many tickets to win”
Buying more tickets gives you more chances, but we have seen people win with just one. It is a game of chance, not a reward for who spends the most. If you want to increase your odds, go ahead, but every single ticket has a fair shot.
5. “They only pick people they know”
Oneplay is designed to be fair. Our system does not allow anyone to influence or manipulate who wins. Presenters do not see your name until after the winner is picked. In fact, many winners are surprised we even have their number. That is because it is pulled directly from the ticket entry.
Still Not Convinced? Watch It Happen Live
We invite players to tune in during their favourite shows and listen as presenters make the winning calls. It is live, unscripted, and happening every day.
