Derrick Mukeku Kasyoka from Machakos is SportPesa’s latest multi-millionaire after winning Ksh10 million in the free-to-play Goal Rush game. SportPesa, Kenya’s leading online gaming platform, crowned Derrick Mukeku Kasyoka as the second winner of the Ksh10 million Goal Rush jackpot, making his life-changing win official during a special ceremony on Thursday.
Derrick, a 38-year-old Kenyatta University Education graduate, correctly predicted the outcome of three matches in the thrilling Goal Rush game, which is free to play for all active SportPesa users.
Derrick’s victory comes just months after the first-ever Goal Rush winner, Stephen Visendi, hit the jackpot in May 2024. In this engaging game, participants predict which team will score first and the exact minute the first goal will be scored, and then share their predictions on social media. Derrick, thanks to his sharp mathematics skills, nailed his predictions with remarkable accuracy, winning the grand prize in only his third attempt.
“I’m overjoyed today. I’ve been a loyal SportPesa player since 2018, and though I’ve seen many people win, I never imagined I would be one of them. This is a turning point for me, and I hope to use this fortune wisely, investing in property and securing my family’s future,” said Derrick during the prize-giving ceremony, where he was presented with a dummy cheque by SportPesa Kenya ambassadors, Biggie and Sammyro.
Derrick revealed how his love for football, especially his favourite club Manchester United, and his strong mathematics background helped him make winning predictions. “As I was going about my errands, Goal Rush popped up after placing a multibet. Something clicked in my mind, and I made my predictions based on the sequence of 13-goals in the 13th, 26th, and 39th minutes. My instincts were spot on,” he added.
Derrick encourages other SportPesa players to approach bett¡ng responsibly: “SportPesa’s Goal Rush is an amazing game, but always remember to bet responsibly. Luck plays a big role, but anyone can win.”
