A punter has narrated how his SportPesa Mid-week jackpot bonus win saved him mental anguish, coming at a time he was helpless after his daughter was nearly turned away from school for lack of basic items and levies when she reported to form one last week.
Fredrick Odhiambo Onyango, a casual labourer working in Nairobi said despite missing out on Ksh16,124,722 which was last week’s SportPesa Mid-week Jackpot amount by a whisker, the bonus payout of Ksh1,197,168 for getting 12/13 correct predictions was God-sent.
“I felt very good to get that message. I had nothing at the time, no money yet it was the last day for my daughter to report to school. I only had Ksh20,000, so when I heard that I had won, I was very happy,” Onyango recalled.
“It makes me happy to see my child go to school.” Odhiambo is a father of three with the eldest aged 15.
Odhiambo was with his daughter at the school when he received the congratulatory message from SportPesa last Friday afternoon. He plans to pay his daughter’s fee in advance for the full four-year period with part of his winnings.
