June 10, 2020, marked a lucky day for Lydiah Mutinga, a businesswoman from Trans Nzoia County, as she won a substantial amount of money from a Sh7 bet on the OdiBets gaming platform.
Her winnings totalled Sh450,237, a sum she plans to use to expand her business.
Another punter also won a significant amount, taking home Sh505,692 after placing a stake worth Sh208.
