A lucky Kenyan man has amazingly netted $2m (Shs7.2b) from a Shs6K bet after predicting the outcome of 17 football matches. He says that he will not bet again.
Samuel Abisai, 28, won the life-changing sum after having a flutter on two separate picks, according to betting firm SportPesa. Abisai told journalists in Nairobi: “I think I am not going to bet again.”
The company boss Ronald Karauri led a convoy to Mr Abisai’s home town of Thika – 27 miles outside of the capital Nairobi – to pick up the lucky winner. He says he is not sure whether he will continue working or quit is day job.
