KEY POINTS

“My first spend will be to my church where I will contribute some of the money because you cannot win this without the hand of God.”

Stephen Ojwang’s first-ever winning bet was on his favorite football club Gor Mahia months ago. Last Saturday, his lucky star rose again as he triumphed in the SportPesa Midweek Jackpot to win 23,027,939 shillings.

Ojwang who hails from Aboke in Siaya County managed to correctly predict the final scores of 13 football matches in the SportPesa Midweek Jackpot to become an instant multi-millionaire.

“I used to place one or two bets to try and win the jackpot and then I increased to placing between five and seven to improve my chances of winning the jackpot. I am happy it has paid off,” said the Nairobi-based businessman.

“My first spend will be to my church where I will contribute some of the money because you cannot win this without the hand of God,” he added.

Following his win, the SportPesa Midweek Jackpot has been reset to the starting amount of Ksh10 million and will increase each week until won.

Ojwang who confessed to being an ardent Gor Mahia fan claims his football analysis skills have improved with time and is happy over the resumption of top leagues this weekend which will make predictions easier.

This, he adds, is because of familiar teams in various fixtures, as he now trains his eyes on winning the SportPesa Mega Jackpot that currently stands at 293,519,018 shillings.

The Mega Jackpot will kick off on Saturday, April 1 at 5p.m featuring fixtures such as Crystal Palace vs Leicester City and AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham FC among others.

It consists of 17-select matches per week while the Midweek jackpot comprises 13 matches. They are the only progressive jackpots in the market, meaning the amount increases each week until won.
