Three lucky Kenyans are in line to win Sh. 40m from Betsafe

Three lucky Kenyans have already been selected to get into a draw to win a guaranteed Betsafe Super Jackpot worth Sh. 40 million.

Bernard Kanyi a mechanic from Kasarani, Joseph Mutinda a marketing professional from Kahawa Sukari, and Joab Opiri from Bondo, Siaya County, received the call from Betsafe on Monday 2nd May, informing them of their entrance into the draw which puts them on track to winning Sh. 40m on Sunday May 21.

Similar to the other lucky contestants, Joab Opiri expressed his excitement at being selected for the draw, stating that he is on tenterhooks waiting for the final draw.

“I can’t celebrate too loudly yet because I am at work, but when I get back home I will be jumping up and down. If I win the Sh. 40 million, I will open a business, build a home and pay school fees for my children,” said a clearly excited Joab to the Betsafe customer care representative during the call to inform him of his selection.

The three were selected, by a random process overseen by the Betting Control and Licensing Board, from a pool of 111 players who correctly guessed the outcome of 10 out of 17 football matches in the Betsafe Super Jackpot.

Pauline Opal, a representative of the Betting Control and Licensing Board, was present to verify the veracity of the random selection process.

“I have verified that the process is open and transparent, and it suits the requirements of the BCLB for the conduct of such draws,” she said.

Betsafe is the sponsor for the Football Kenya Federation Premier League sides Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards having officially launched their operations in the country in December 2020.

According to the details of the deal which will run for three years,AFC Leopards will get KSh40 million per year while Gor Mahia will get KSh55 million per year from the gaming firm.

The perennial arch-rivals struggled when SportPesa, their previous sponsor left, leaving the clubs to depend on fans, members and other well-wishers to honour matches and settle player allowances at times.
