Nyandarua County CEC Wins The 38-Million SportPesa Midweek Jackpot

Nyandarua County’s CEC nominee for Lands, physical planning and urbanisation John Ndung’u Muiru is this year’s fifth SportPesa Mid Week Jackpot winner.

Muriu who won the Ksh 38,792,902 jackpot on the night of Thursday October 27 presented himself at SportPesa offices today, after attending an hour-long  vetting at the Nyandarua County Assembly yesterday (Friday October 28).

“It is all God because I have not been in employment since my retrenchment when Covid-19 struck. Life has been hard since then but today I am really really happy. In the last two weeks good things have been happening in my life and it is like a dream,” said an elated Muiru.

Muiru, a fan of the SportPesa jackpots, said he was also eyeing the SportPesa Mega Jackpot which currently stands at Ksh258,230,739.

A fan of Kenya Premier League side Gor Mahia and Manchester City in the English Premier League, Muriu has hopes that his favourite team in the World Cup Brazil, will carry the day at the end of the tournament that will kick off next month on November 20.

He plans to give some money back to a good cause by supporting a seminary student for their studies.

Following this win, the Mid Week jackpot resets to Ksh10 million which will keep rising each week until another person wins.

Last month, the 2018 winner of Ksh208 million SportPesa Mega Jackpot, Cosmas Korir was elected Speaker of the Bomet County Assembly.
