Ivana Alawi Buys and Gives Away 100 iPhone 17 Units to Contest Winners
She documented herself buying all 100 phones on camera, a video that went viral on its own, then announced the winners in follow-up posts.
On July 15, 2026, Ivana Alawi announced she'd give away 100 iPhone 17 units (or ₱50,000 cash) to mark her Facebook page crossing 50 million followers. To qualify, entrants had to follow the page of Casino Plus, an online gambling platform she endorses.
She documented herself buying all 100 iPhone 17 units on camera at a mall, and that shopping-trip video became a viral moment in its own right, reported to have crossed 108 million views and 3.7 million comments within days.
She then began selecting and announcing winners in a series of follow-up videos on her own page, with each winner set to receive a sealed, brand-new unit. This page is relying on Ivana's own posts for that detail, since we haven't found a news outlet that independently confirmed the full distribution.
The giveaway's tie to Casino Plus is also what drew criticism and, later, a PAGCOR fine, covered in a separate recap linked below.
