In the final episode, Bangladesh Cricket team’s star cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim was present as the special guest.

To finalise the list of candidates for the BMW car, in keeping with Mushfiqur’s ODI fifties, 44 people from 37 districts were initially picked using “Bangla AI”. Later, the number was raised to 71 as Mushfiqur suggested that at least one person from each district of 64 districts be included in the final list.  

Talking about the BMW winner selection process, Sadat Adnan Ahmad, chief marketing officer of Nagad Limited said: “We have got a great response to our BMW campaign. That is why we ourselves have not gone for selecting the ultimate winner, rather we have now left it to our crores of customers to choose from the 71 shortlisted candidates.” 

“I want to congratulate in advance the lucky person who is going to win the BMW car. I also want to wish the rest of the participants all the best,” he added.

Under the mega payment campaign, Nagad handed over several Sedan cars, nearly 500 motorbikes and refrigerators, smart televisions, mobiles, smartwatches, headphones, etc to winners. 

They received such exciting gifts from their favourite celebrities, such as Bangladesh National Cricket Team’s ODI captain Tamim Iqbal Khan and television stars – Nusrat Faria, Mishu Sabbir, Ziaul Hoque Polash and Parsa Evana.  Besides, Nagad gave prizes to many winners by going to their homes.
