SportPesa, Kenya’s online gaming company, has announced its newest millionaire, Dominic Musili, after his stunning win of Ksh20,801,394 in the Midweek Jackpot. The 40-year-old father of three correctly predicted the outcome of 13 matches, securing the life-changing prize with a modest Ksh99 bet.
Mr Musili, a SportPesa player for over five years, became the fifth SportPesa Midweek Jackpot winner in 2024, joining a growing list of lucky winners who have transformed their lives through the gaming platform. His remarkable victory was celebrated at a grand unveiling ceremony that captured the excitement and spirit of triumph.
Grand unveiling across Nairobi
The festivities kicked off in the bustling heart of Nairobi, where Musili’s victory was honoured with a police-led convoy that passed through iconic locations such as Juja Road, Dandora roundabout, and Jacaranda, before the official unveiling in Pipeline. Mr Musili arrived on stage to the rhythm of the famous “Anguka Nayo” dance, a symbol of his incredible journey from everyday life to jackpot winner.
Reflecting on his win, Mr Musili recalled the moment he received the congratulatory message from SportPesa Kenya. “I was in Nanyuki when I placed my bet. After the first day, I had already predicted eight games correctly, which gave me hope of winning at least a bonus. When I realised I had nailed all 13 games, I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up the whole night — it was unbelievable,” Musili shared.
Musili’s plans for his winnings
Mr Musili plans to invest his winnings in real estate and explore new business opportunities, turning his long-held dreams into reality. “Before I won the Ksh20.8 million Midweek Jackpot, I always dreamed of owning property. Now, I can make that dream come true and also dive into business,” he added.
Winning journey continues
Dominic Musili joins the ranks of other recent winners, including Bernard Kipkoech, Charles Obwoge, and Wellington Asena, who collectively won Ksh17.8 million in August, and Omondi Oyoo and Athuman Salim, who shared the Ksh26.8 million jackpot in June 2024.
The SportPesa Midweek Jackpot has now reset to Ksh10 million, while the Mega Jackpot remains unclaimed and has grown to a staggering Ksh384 million, awaiting the next big winner. With just Ksh99, players across Kenya have the chance to change their lives forever.
A call to aspiring champions
In addition to transforming lives through its jackpots, SportPesa continues to inspire through its revolutionary Tujiamini Initiative. This year-long campaign provides up to Ksh30 million in funding to support individual and team sports talents across the country. The initiative encourages Kenyans to take pride in their talents and offers a platform for nurturing and showcasing sports and artistic potential.
