At the draw held on February 19, 10 more consumers won ₦1 million each. Among them are Ismaila Ayinde Omoshalewa from Ibadan and Okereke Happiness Chidinma from Delta State, both of whom have received their prize money.

Ismaila said the win came at a necessary time for his family.

“This money has really come to solve major problems for my family. I’m spending part of it to complete my children’s school fees, pay our rent, and I’m putting the rest in my wife’s business,” he said.

Chidinma also spoke about the moment she got the call.

“I was amazed to have won because I just thought of trying out the product, then I got a call that I won. My husband and I already made a plan about how to expend the prize money,” she shared.

With seven draws completed, the company says more than 450,000 Nigerians have won different rewards since the promotion began.

So far, 70 consumers have won and redeemed ₦1 million each. More than 350 winners have received ₦50,000 Jumia shopping vouchers, while about 450,000 participants have enjoyed ₦1,000 instant airtime.

The promotion runs for 12 weeks. Participants who buy any NIVEA 400ml Body Lotion variant such as Cocoa, Rich Nourishing, Even Glow, Advanced Care, Perfect & Radiant, or Deep, can find a unique code on the pack, scratch it, and dial 7022code# to enter.

Each valid entry provides ₦1,000 airtime instantly and qualifies the buyer for the weekly draws.

Beyond the weekly prizes, bigger rewards are also on offer. At the end of the campaign, participants stand a chance to win ₦5 million, ₦3 million, ₦2 million, three brand new SUVs, and ten all-expense-paid trips to Spain to watch Real Madrid live at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Fiyin Toyo, marketing director for Central, East & West Africa (CEWA) at Beiersdorf, said the response has been strong across the country.

“Entering Week 7 and seeing the excitement continue to build across Nigeria is incredibly inspiring for us. What stands out most is the consistency – Nigerians are winning every single week, and the process remains transparent and verifiable. 

“This promotion was created to genuinely reward our consumers at scale, and we still have several weeks and major prizes ahead. There are many more opportunities to win, and we encourage everyone to keep participating.”

She added that every eligible purchase gives instant value and more chances to win before the promotion ends.

Regulators have approved the promotion. The National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority, and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission are overseeing it.

With five weeks left, the company says entries are still open nationwide and more winners will emerge in the coming draws.

According to UEFA statistics, in 2020 the cumulative audience for live matches was 5.2 billion, with the final watched by 328 million fans. 

Considering the amount of attention surrounding this event, fraudsters will try to use it to steal valuable personal data or money. Kaspersky experts explored the issue and managed to find several types of scams devoted to the UEFA Champions League. 

1. Fake streaming services

Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to buy a ticket and attend the final in France. For most fans, video streaming is the best available option to watch the game. Scammers understand this and use the match to create phishing platforms for streaming.

Examples below show that fans are asked to put in personal data as the first step to register for access to match streaming. After registering, they will also be asked to put in their bank details to verify their bank card.

Such ‘unknown’ services should be considered suspicious, especially if they promise a ‘free service’, but later, during the registration process, ask people to provide bank details and other personal information.

2. Fake tickets for the final

Given the huge popularity of the Champions League and the number of fans around the world, it’s easy to imagine the huge hype generated around the purchase of tickets for the final. Obviously, not everyone will manage to get tickets.

The stadium Stade de France, which will host the final, only has a capacity of 80,000 spectators. Because of the limited number of available places in comparison to the amount of football fans, scammers are actively selling fake tickets. Examples of such scams are shown below.

Screenshots show that third-party prices are pretty high – from £1,200 to £7,350. Fans, therefore, need to be extremely vigilant and carefully study the site that they’re going to purchase tickets from. To avoid becoming victim to a scam, the safest option is to buy tickets on official UEFA websites.

“Such large and international events inevitably attract a variety of fraudsters, who skillfully take advantage of people’s trustfulness. The related scams can take a number of diverse forms – from the sale of fake tickets to bogus charities. In such situations, people should be as careful as possible and not respond to offers which appear too tempting, as we know there is no such thing as a free lunch. A reliable security solution can also be a good option to help weed out fraudulent schemes and keep personal data protected,” comments Olga Svistunova, Web Content analyst at Kaspersky.

To avoid scams, save money and keep personal data private, Kaspersky experts share some simple tips:

• Check any link before clicking. Hover over it to preview the URL and look for misspellings or other irregularities. It’s also good practice to only enter a username and password over a secure connection. Look for the HTTPS prefix before the site URL, indicating the connection to the site is secure. 
• Sometimes fake e-mails and websites look just like real ones. It depends on how well the criminals did their homework. In particular, the hyperlinks will, most likely, be incorrect — with spelling mistakes. However, the links can also be disguised to look like valid links and redirect you to a different page, impersonating the legitimate site.
• To protect your data and finances, it is good practice to make sure the online checkout and payment page is secure. You’ll know it if the web page’s URL begins with HTTPS instead of the usual HTTP; an icon of a lock will also typically appear beside the URL and the address bar in some browsers will be green. If you don’t see these features, do not proceed. 
• Use a trusted security solution that can help you check the security of the URL that you’re visiting and also provides the ability to open any site in a protected container to prevent theft of sensitive data, including financial details.
