A 29-year-old taxi driver from Nyendo, Masaka District, has won an all-expenses-paid trip to London to watch Chelsea FC live at Stamford Bridge, thanks to the ongoing Predator Energy “Under the Crown” consumer promotion.
Kiyinji Paul, who operates along the Sembabule–Masaka route, secured the win after entering the competition via SMS upon purchasing a Predator Energy drink.
Speaking after receiving the news, an excited Kiyinji described the win as unexpected.
“I have always loved football, and Chelsea is one of the biggest teams in the world. I never imagined I could get this kind of opportunity from just buying a drink. It is truly amazing,” he said.
Predator Energy drink is part of a strategic partnership between Monster Energy Company and Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda (CCBU), which oversees local production and nationwide distribution.
The promotion, running from April 2 to June 15, 2026, is rewarding consumers across the country with daily airtime, weekly motorbikes, and grand prize trips to London, reflecting growing nationwide participation.
Dubbed “Win a Chelsea FC Experience in London,” the campaign is open to Ugandans aged 18 and above and taps into the country’s deep passion for football.
Michael Kimuli, Business Manager for Uganda at Monster Energy Company, said the initiative is designed to connect with fans through one of the country’s most popular sports.
“We are excited to see everyday consumers like Kiyinji win. His story reflects the excitement the promotion is generating across the country,” Kimuli said.
Participants in the campaign stand a chance to win daily airtime worth Shs405 million in denominations of Shs1,000, Shs2,000, Shs5,000 and Shs10,000, as well as 15 motorbikes awarded through weekly draws.
The grand prize includes an all-expenses-paid trip to London for five winners and their guests to watch a Chelsea FC match live at Stamford Bridge.
To participate, consumers are required to purchase a Predator 350ml PET bottle with a white cap, check the unique code under the cap, and send it via SMS to 6688 to enter the draw.
All draws are conducted under the supervision of the National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board to ensure fairness and transparency. CCBU has emphasised that all prizes are free to claim, with no payment required at any stage of the process.
