Parbati Karki from Bangepipal, Gangajamuna Rural Municipality-6, Dhading, has emerged as the bumper prize winner of Ncell’s Sadhain ON Crorepati campaign, receiving Rs. 1 crore in cash at a ceremony held at Ncell ICON, Lainchaur, Kathmandu.
The campaign ran from Asar 1 to 32 (June 15 to July 16), allowing customers who purchased services worth Rs. 99 or more to enter weekly draws for Rs. 100,000 and the grand prize of Rs. 1 crore. Karki qualified by purchasing the ‘Basic Renewal’ pack during the campaign’s third week and has been a loyal Ncell customer for eight years.
Her inspiring journey began amid tragedy when she lost her one-month-old son and family home in the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Since then, her husband has worked abroad in Bahrain, while Karki serves as a Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV) and cares for their son studying Grade 12 in Kathmandu. Despite hardships including business losses and ongoing debt, Karki remained resilient.
With the prize money, she plans to clear debts, reunite her family, and start a business in Nepal. “This prize feels like a reward for all those years of hardship,” she said emotionally.
The campaign was discontinued on July 17 following a directive from the Nepal Telecommunications Authority. Besides Karki, 50 participants won weekly cash prizes of Rs. 100,000.
Enamul Kabir, CFO of Ncell, congratulated Karki and expressed hope that the prize would help her realise her dreams.
