With less than three weeks to go until the end of the year, just one prediction stood
between 41-year-old John Matata, and the hundreds of millions of shillings in prize money at stake in the SportPesa Mega Jackpot.
Matata who lives in Nairobi but hails from Machakos got 16/17 predictions correct, taking home 10,315,693 shillings and setting himself and his family up for a mega Christmas holiday.
“I am extremely delighted for winning this week’s Mega Jackpot Bonus by SportPesa. I will take my time to plan and ensure that this money helps and changes our lives as a family for the better”, said the father of two.
Matata’s win continues the lucky streak, that has since seen 10 winners walk away with more than ten million shillings this year from the Mid-week and Mega Jackpot Bonus. It comes a week after Mr. Solomon Mnang’at, a businessman from Kapenguria in West Pokot County walked away with 4,791,803 shillings after getting 15/17 correct predictions.
Matata who has been betting with SportPesa since 2016, urged for caution from punters while placing bets.
He noted that many young people will be at home this holiday season and may be lured into irresponsible gambling in the hope of making a kill of the Mega Jackpot that currently stands at over 340 million shillings.
In addition to the Midweek and Mega Jackpot Bonuses, SportPesa has so far rewarded 60 players in the ongoing ‘Jishikie Kienyeji Hii Krisi’ Christmas campaign with 42 lucky winners receiving 5,000 shillings weekly.
At the close of the campaign, one lucky winner who holds an inspiring and moving story of what their year has been will walk away with a Christmas shopping bonanza worth Kes 100,000, courtesy of SportPesa.
