Explaining the selection process, Marketing Director, Toyin Nnodi, Nigeria said “To make the promotion transparent and fair, all prizes won will be mutually exclusive to consumers.

This has been done to give all McVitie’s digestive lovers an equal chance to win prizes at any time within the duration of the promo, irrespective of when they entered into the promo and to avoid unchecked multiple winnings”.

Toyin Nnodi further noted that the Anniversary promotion is the first roll out of exciting new developments from the brand.
