By: Alimatu Kargbo
Mercury International has officially launched its highly anticipated Mercury Bet Grand Battle, a major promotional campaign offering a life-changing grand prize of US$81,000 to one lucky winner.
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Martin Edmond Michael, described the initiative as more than just a gaming promotion, but a genuine opportunity to transform lives.
He began by acknowledging the role of the media in the company’s success, thanking journalists for their continuous support and contribution to its growth.
According to him, the promotion is built on the idea of creating real opportunities for Sierra Leoneans.
“Growing up, we all had ambitions, some wanted to be Journalists, Lawyers, Doctors, or even President. But one thing we all need to achieve those dreams is a strong foundation,” he said.
He emphasized that the initiative is designed to provide that foundation, noting that success is built on concrete opportunities rather than mere luck or ideology.
“This is a life changer. When you build your foundation, you build your future. What we are introducing today is something real and tangible,” he stated.
Explaining how to participate, he disclosed that customers must place a total of Le 250 million on Vegas games and Le 50 million on sports betting, including competitions like the FIFA World Cup, to qualify for a raffle ticket.
“The more you bet, the more chances you get, but not for under eighteen years.
Every bet gives you an opportunity to win, and participants can even multiply their chances by following additional instructions on the platform,” he added.
All participation, he noted, will take place on the company’s online platform, which offers a variety of games and betting opportunities, which would take place on the 21st and 22nd of July 2026.
Addressing public concerns about online fraud, he reassured users of the company’s credibility.
“Mercury has built a strong reputation over the years. We are reliable, and our track record speaks for itself,” he assured.
Adding excitement to the event, popular Sierra Leonean musician, Drizilik, also spoke, encouraging young people to embrace opportunities that can change their lives.
He noted that many people are constantly searching for success, but often overlook platforms that can genuinely make a difference.
“People are trying different things to succeed, but opportunities like this can truly change lives. It’s about taking that chance and making it count,” he said.
He urged the public to remain focused and make use of platforms that provide real value.
Meanwhile, Beresford Bournes Coker, the Chief of Operations at Mercury International, highlighted the importance of teamwork and vision in building a successful brand. He stressed that while individuals may have talent, achieving lasting success requires collective effort.
“Always look for a team. You may have the individual qualities to succeed, but without a strong team, you cannot move forward, especially in the luxury industry,” he stated.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, he noted that Mercury International started from humble beginnings but grew through trust, dedication, and strong collaboration.
“We started with simple ventures like kekes and bikes, but today, we have built something much greater. And along the way, we built a strong team that made it all possible,” he said.
He encouraged individuals to think beyond limitations and strive for excellence.
“You must think bigger and better. That is what makes you stand out. You must work towards perfection, even though perfection is difficult to achieve,” he added.
He concluded by expressing optimism about the initiative, noting that it will create meaningful impact.
“With the support of our team, we will continue to deliver on our promise of changing lives. We believe one person will win, use it wisely, and more opportunities will continue to come,” he said.
The Mercury Bet Grand Battle is expected to attract wide participation, offering multiple chances to win through its online gaming platform, as the company continues to position itself as a leader in innovation and rewarding.
