For each BHD 50 (or equivalent in any currency) spent using an ila Prepaid Card, customers gain one entry into the ‘back-to-school’ prize draws. Two draws will be held to identify five lucky winners each time. The first draw will be held on 14 September 2023, and the second draw will be held on 12 October 2023.
