Evalyne Kabara has joined the list of
Kenyan
millionaires at age 24 after winning the Betin jackpot of Sh20,621,429.
The office assistant had played for three months when she placed a bet of Sh399. All her 13 predictions were correct.
"I took the betting route after a friend introduced me to sport," she said at Nairobi's Kempinski Hotel on Wednesday, when she was declared winner.
"After playing multi-bets for some time, I decided try the jackpot with the hopes of winning one day. I didn't expect it to be this soon. I am overwhelmed,"
Karaba asked Kenyans to continue betting as they could win but to live within their limits.
"Check Betin tips as they are helpful," said the winner who received first class treatment at the hotel.
Betin will also assign her a financial adviser if she pleases.

Betin regional director William Raxon said their goal is to provide a platform for entertainment that is both competitive and fair for the consumer.
"While today is about Evalyne, her story is not unique to us. Every day, week and month, our
customers cash out winnings that are changing their lives for the better," he said.
"Our tiered bonuses
offer clients the chance to win huge amounts on sports each day."
Raxon also noted benefits to the economy
through taxation and regulation, and working with local companies to encourage entrepreneurship.
He said they will continue
to launch exciting products and features such 'cashout' to ensure customers get the best service.
"Players are slowly starting to understand that the betting market is not just about the jackpot," he added.
Managing director Leandro Giovando said:
"We are fresh and innovative and offer a great range of products."
Leandro noted the organisation
serves more than 100 markets and offers first class live betting products through casinos and virtual games.
