Meet the winners
Japhet Muirungi: A transport business boost
Japhet Muirungi, a businessman from Meru specializing in transport and construction, turned his New Year into a moment of celebration. Placing four separate bets on different days, he was on transit when he received the news of his jackpot win. Initially skeptical, Japhet soon realized his life had changed forever.
“I thought it was a joke when I first got the call,” Japhet shared. “Once I confirmed, I knew this was the start of a new chapter for me and my family.”
With his winnings, Japhet plans to buy a truck for his business to enhance the transportation of building materials and gas. He has already placed an order for the vehicle and is also planning to build a house for his family to ensure a secure future.
Tannubody subbareddy: A double win delight
Tannubody Subbareddy, a wholesale businessman originally from India and now based in Bungoma, struck gold with his intuition. He placed multiple bets, with one resulting in a perfect 13/13 win and another earning a bonus for 12/13 games.
“I was sure I was going to win,” Tannubody revealed. “I even told my friends about it, and to my surprise, I won twice on the same bet!”
Tannubody plans to use his winnings to expand his wholesale business and support his family further.
Eyes on the mega jackpot
Both winners have set their sights on an even bigger prize: SportPesa’s Mega Jackpot, currently valued at over KSh 400 million.
“I’ll keep playing, and one day I’ll win the Mega Jackpot,” Japhet said with confidence. Tannubody echoed his determination, adding, “SportPesa is where dreams come true, and I won’t stop until I win even bigger!”
