A Kenyan man, Bob Muriuki, has become an instant millionaire after winning an impressive KSh 109,299,917 from a football multibet.
His unexpected win came after he placed a wager of just KSh 37, defying the odds and transforming his life overnight.
In an interview with NTV, Muriuki described the overwhelming excitement that came with his victory.
“I couldn’t believe it. I was at home waiting for the last bet because I knew most bets ended at midnight,” he said. The moment he checked his balance after midnight and saw the total, it felt like a “sugar rush.”
Muriuki attributed his success to careful analysis, stating that betting is a science based on probability.
He encouraged others to take calculated risks but warned against greed. Despite his newfound fortune, Muriuki admitted that his financial situation had been challenging before this massive win.
To protect his identity, Muriuki appeared in public wearing fake dreadlocks and sunglasses, a move that caught the attention of many Kenyans.
Social media users praised his ingenuity, with one commenting, “I love how he wore fake dreadlocks and a beard to disguise himself. If I won that amount, I would do the same for security reasons.”
While some celebrated his win, others raised concerns about whether the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) would receive the appropriate taxes from his jackpot.
Muriuki revealed that he is seeking guidance on how to wisely invest the money. “While seeking wisdom from God, it’s also good to listen to other people,” he said, as he prepared for this life-altering new chapter.
