Rusape physiotherapist Clemence Muhle who won three cars at the OK Grand Challenge has revealed how he wins store competitions.Muhle (40) told The Manica Post that he uses mathematics to win the competitions especially the probability rule. He spent over $25 000 buying the 41 products that were on promotion and amassed a massive 10 419 coupons a figure he said probably rose to 12 000 because he ended up not recording the coupons. To make sure that each coupon was filled he engaged someone to fill them, capturing every detail correctly and writing clearly.
Muhle won $45 000 cash in the TM Pick and Pay promotion and the management had to withhold his prize for three weeks and instituted a forensic audit to probe his win but the audit team cleared him.
Muhle initially said he would only reveal his secret in 2019 after winning all the cars on offer.
“Mmmmm yaaah if I tell you my secret then it means my plan to win all the cars in 2019 will be in jeopardy since many people will copy me. Any way, you are insisting let me tell you. I first study the competition rules and products on promotions. So when I go into a supermarket I will make sure that I only buy what is on promotion and get my coupons. Most competitions if not all say ‘the more you buy the more chances of winning’ so I buy more and more. Last year I participated in OK Grand Challenge but did not win anything but I learnt vital lessons from that draw and came home to prepare for this year’s.
“This year I bought my groceries at OK Rusape, Marondera and mostly Mbare. At OK Mbare, the staff is very friendly and they treated me very well as a big customer. Each time I went there for shopping they availed staff to load my groceries and opened a till dedicated to me. Sometimes it took four hours to serve me and they never showed that they are bored with me as was the case with some outlets. They would close their branch around 11pm serving me because I would have left Rusape around 4pm to go to Mbare to do my shopping.
“Mind you I was only buying what was on promotion and I would know how many coupons I would get. I would then drive back to Rusape and arrive around 2am and in the morning, I would give someone the coupons to fill correctly and clearly. The coupons were so voluminous. The last time I checked them they were 10 419 but I think by end of the promotion they rose to around 12 000.
“I was very confident that I was going to win more than one vehicle because I knew that my coupons would dominate the draw drums. In the Pepsi draw drum I had 582, Thornville Karinga I had 1 726 and Arenel biscuits I had 215 and that is where I won the cars. In the Navara category I had 1 216 coupons but I did not win.
“For example if a box has 10 coupons and 7 belong to one person, who has the highest and realistic chance of winning? That is my secret. Remember the more you play the more chances of winning,’’ he explained.
