An elated Edwin Kiarie Muniu received over 12 million after making 13 out of 13 correct predictions in the BetYetu Jackpot draw.
Relatively new to the world of betting, Muniu who won last week’s Jackpot, recalls on how he received the call that changed his life for the better.
He could not believe his ears.
“I was weeding in my shamba when my phone rang. I did not recognise the caller ID but went on to answer. I was then told by the person on the other end that he was calling from BetYetu and that I had won the Jackpot money,” an ecstatic Muniu said.
“At first thought it was all just a joke. I called my friend Peter and asked him if he was the one trying to pull a prank on me but from his response, I could tell that he had no idea what I was talking about. We then both checked the website only to confirm that the jackpot winner had been selected,” he went
on to say.
Githinji James, the marketing manager of BetYetu encouraged more Kenyans to participate in responsible betting noting that it provides an opportunity to analyse and support a sport while predicting to win.
“Since the year began, BetYetu has seen 343 bonus winners, 3 winning the weekly Sh500,000, 48 winning the weekly Sh250,000 and 292 winning the weekly Sh100,000, and we look forward to many more wins for our players in the second half of the year,” Githinji added.
Born and raised in Kabete, Muniu, a broker and hay farmer, is married and has two children aged 1 and 10.
He has five siblings (four brothers and one sister) whom he cherishes dearly.
