On July 17, 2020, Jerry Ariko, a 34-year-old accountant, became the latest millionaire in Kenya after winning Sh1 million in Betway Kenya's 4 To Score promotion.
Ariko, who works for a mobile telco company, has been a fan of Betway's jackpots but was drawn to the 4 To Score promotion because it was free to enter and offered a chance to win without having to place a bet.
"I am very excited about this win. This money will go a long way in supporting me and my family," Ariko said. "I had begun construction of my home and thus will use this money to finish it up and house my family," he added.
4 To Score is a weekly contest that allows players to win by selecting the player who will open the scoring in four selected matches. The first entry is free, and players can unlock additional entries by placing bets worth Sh300 each.
Betway Country Manager Leon Kiptum congratulated Ariko on his win and encouraged other players to continue betting with the company. "We at Betway would like to congratulate Jerry on his win and encourage the rest of our players to continue betting with us," Kiptum said.
