[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f the SportPesa Mega Jackpot is not won this weekend, it will rise to the highest amount ever for a local jackpot. The Mega Jackpot is at Ksh220,691,917 this week, only Ksh609,685 shy of what was paid out to the first ever SportPesa Mega Jackpot winner, Samuel Abisai, in May last year.
The win changed the life of the 26-year old salesman who at the time resided in Roysambu off Thika Road, in a humble two-bedroomed house he shared with several of his siblings. His life has since transformed radically, as the young man who was ushered into multi-millionaire’s club by SportPesa, tastes the life of entrepreneurship.
Abisai has expanded his father’s rope selling business, finished setting up a family home in his rural Kakamega and is setting up a football academy in Western region just as he had promised to do when he won the money. He has also expanded his clothes making business, opening a second store in Nairobi as orders rise.

The matches will be played at various times on Saturday and Sunday. Gamers will have to make their predictions before 6pm on Saturday to win.
“SportPesa is ready for the winner and we wish all our customers the best. We are excited that we are on course to make another record payout in this country staying true to our slogan ‘Made of Winners’,” the company said in a statement. (Source: Game Yetu)
