BETWAY Jackpot Winner Joseph Onyera Agumba with BETWAY Country Manager Ms. Wanja Gikonyo

Joseph Agumba, a 62 year old farmer from Kisumu County, has been enjoying the thrills of sports betting since Betway launched in Kenya late last year. His excitement hit fever pitch as he recently bagged a staggering KSh20 million in one of Betway’s Jackpots.

An elated Agumba, flanked by his loving family, received his Jackpot cheque from Betway at his home in Kisumu County.

By correctly predicting the outcomes of 13 football matches listed by Betway last week, Agumba joins a growing list of Jackpot winners in Kenya.

“I’ve been betting with Betway for a while and despite getting close a couple of times, I never really expected to win. To me, the Jackpot is the pinnacle,” he said.

Presenting the cheque to Agumba, newly appointed Betway country manager for Kenya Wanja Gikonyo said, “Betway believes that Joseph Agumba’s life will be transformed in tandem with the company’s goal of improving people’s lives. Beyond his win, we will provide him with a financial advisor to offer specialist advice on how to manage the money.”

Agumba, excited with his winnings, is now able to focus on future prospects. He plans to use the money to develop one of his plots in Kisumu City and also open up a business to meet the needs of his community. Furthermore, a large share of his winnings will go to ensuring that his children receive the best possible education.

Since its launch in late 2015, Betway Kenya has doubled its subscriber base, growing in leaps and bounds as it looks to make the dreams of sports betting fans a reality.
