A winning number
Theo Boshoff
We’re sure that when you hear Elizabeth Nell's story, you’ll wish you were subscribed with another mobile operator.

Why? Because this 25-year-old KZN woman won over R7.4 million rand in cash. No, it was not the Lotto, but the Win Your Number In Cash competition run by Cell C to encourage their subscribers to go get their cellphone numbers registered and get Rica-certified. Which, by the way, is law right - everybody with a SIM card and cellphone number must register for Rica, no matter what mobile operator you are subscribed with.

Nell obviously has a 074 number and won the exact amount of money that her cellphone number is. Seeing that her number is not released - to protect her from weirdoes contacting and stalking her - we don't know the exact amount. Who really cares? It's over R7.4 million - which she says she will use to further her studies in the IT field. Well, Elizabeth, unless you plan to study forever and get private tutoring, you won't be spending that entire sum of money on your studies! We'd like to know what else you are going to do with the amount left over.

Go get your number registered for Rica now. You won't be winning anything, but you won't have to pay any fines when caught, either.
