On a thrilling note, Betsafe Kenya has kicked off the football season with a bang, awarding multiple winners in their Daily and Super Jackpot competitions.
Among the lucky winners is 20-year-old Fred Bundi from Kakamega County, who received Sh1.1 million at the Betsafe offices on Wednesday afternoon. His winning streak began when he correctly guessed 16 out of 17 games in the Betsafe Super Jackpot.
Elated by his win, Fred expressed his gratitude, stating that the winnings will help him start a business to supplement his income from online jobs. He noted that it has been challenging to find online work since the start of the pandemic, but his win has given him a new lease on life.
“From a stake of only Sh80, I’ve managed to win Sh.1million which I plan to use to start a business that will help the youth around me. I want Kenyans to remember me because this is my season and I’ll be back for the full Sh.104 million Super Jackpot,” said Fred.
Another winner, Janeffer Wanjiru, a Thika-based businesswoman, received Sh300,000 from the bookmakers after winning the Daily Jackpot. She encouraged more women to try their luck on Betsafe, stating that it could be their season to win.
“I’ve only been playing on Betsafe for three months, and by placing a bet on 9 games, I’ve gotten Sh. 300,000 which I will invest in my business. Even women can win these big jackpots, and I’ll be sure to try my luck with the Super Jackpot as well,” said Janeffer.
Additionally, Peter Kihara also won Sh300,000 from the same Daily Jackpot, while Felix Juma took home a brand-new iPhone 12 Pro valued at Ksh. 160,000 after placing a lucky bet worth Ksh. 50.
Speaking at the winner’s party, Mavin Waganda, Marketing Manager, Betsafe Kenya, underscored the importance of these wins to the company, noting that they are in the market to make winning easy and fun for the Kenyan football fan.
“This is an unprecedented day, but hopefully one that continues happening in the future because we want to award as many people as possible. Getting our first female jackpot winner is exciting because it shows us that football and football culture are consistently growing to narrow the gender divide. We are always excited to award new winners. The more the merrier, in fact,” said Waganda.
