Other prizes include grocery bundles and gift cards. The more trips completed, the higher the chances of winning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The promotion, it said, had already spotlighted some driving champions who had gone home smiling with giveaway prizes in hand in the first and second weeks of December.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kwame Collins Gaah, married with three children, was adjudged best driver of last week\u2019s championship with 189 trips.<\/p>\n<p>While commenting on his achievement in the competition, he said he was extremely excited and proud of himself for winning the grand prize.<\/p>\n<p>Driving with Yango for the past two years, he explained, had always presented minimal stress, expressing optimism that the ride-hailing service was on its way to soon becoming the leading giant in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Second best driver of the week, Mr Martey Prince Tawiah, from a family of nine, said he could be on the road for 24 hours a day taking riders to their various destinations.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he was new to the Yango app, he topped other participants to place second with 177 trips.<\/p>\n<p>Following Mr. Martey very closely, was Philip Kwame Owusu, claiming the third-place prize with 176 completed trips.<\/p>\n<p>He recently graduated from the St. Mary\u2019s Training College and had only been with Yango since September this year.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement and notification of his fortune caught him by surprise, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Championship is still open for eligible drivers to take their chances on winning by visiting https:\/\/yango.yandex.com\/action\/ghana\/give_rides_win_prizes, filling out and submitting the electronic application form made available before time runs out on December 31.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the next step is to go online, take orders, complete rides, and keep fingers crossed, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
