\u201cI have money. In fact, I am going to buy a car now. There are a lot of poor people out there. Give the money to them, not me,\u201d he said. After a follow up by FDH officials, Makwasa has now accepted his prize.<\/p>\n

He has told the local media in an interview that he suspected that it was fraudsters when the bank called him and his initial response was aimed at warning the fraudsters not to call him again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have accepted the money and I am so delighted that I have won K1 million as you know how tough life is now. I am grateful to FDH Bank for the promotion,\u201d Makwasa said.<\/p>\n
