Prize structure

More winners, more often

Ja Mini pays out all year long: 32 weekly draws and 11 monthly draws mean a new winner almost every week, paid via Orange Money or EFT.

WEEKLY MINI PRIZE

P5,000

  • Drawn on scheduled Fridays at 10:00 AM
  • 32 weekly draws across the competition
  • Entry cut-off: Thursday 11:59 PM
  • No weekly draw in a monthly-draw week
MONTHLY MINI PRIZE BIGGEST PRIZE

P20,000

  • Last calendar day of each month at 10:00 AM
  • From 31 August 2026 · 11 monthly draws

Why Ja Mini beats winner takes all. The old Ja Meter format built up to a single Grand Prize winner at the end of the year. Ja Mini flips that: instead of one person taking it all, 43 winners are crowned across the year, with a fresh chance almost every single week. Same fair platform, far more people winning. The P20,000 Monthly Mini Prize is the highest prize.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I participate multiple times?

+
Yes! Each SMS counts as one entry, and every valid entry is a separate and independent chance to win. More entries mean better chances of winning.

How long is my entry valid for?

+
Your entry is valid for the remainder of the calendar month it was entered in, and it goes into every draw within that month. Once a new month begins, entries from the previous month expire.

How much does it cost?

+
P3.00 per valid entry. Standard SMS network charges may apply per Orange Botswana's tariff schedule. Hidden fees are expressly prohibited.

Who can enter?

+
Active Orange Botswana subscribers aged 18 years and above. Employees of AGA SURE, Orange Botswana, appointed auditors, affiliated companies, and their immediate family members may not participate.

Is there still a P1 million Grand Prize?

+
No. The Grand Prize belonged to the concluded Ja Meter 2025 competition, where one winner took it all. Ja Mini spreads the winning instead: 43 winners across the year, with the P20,000 Monthly Mini Prize as the highest prize.

How will I know if I’ve won?

+
Winners get an automated SMS immediately after draw verification, followed by a direct phone call from AGA SURE. The winner is also called live on Duma FM at 14:35 on the draw day. Prizes are paid via Orange Money or EFT after identity and KYC verification.

What if I texted "JA METER"?

+
"JA METER" was the keyword for the 2025 competition, which has ended. To enter the current competition, text "JA MINI" to 17223.

How long do I have to claim a prize?

+
Prizes unclaimed for 90 calendar days after winner notification may be forfeited under applicable regulatory provisions, and a redraw may be requested from the Gambling Authority.
