Kawangware Man Bags KSh 10m After Missing 1 Correct Prediction In KSh 340m Sportpesa Jackpot

• John Matata secured KSh 10 million after making 16 correct predictions in Sportpesa's weekly mega jackpot
• Only one incorrect prediction locked him out of the elusive KSh 340 million that the gaming firm had dangled for gamblers
• Sportpesa lined a motorcade from its Nairobi offices to Matata's Kawangware home to pick him up for his goodies

Nairobi - John Matata would be making headlines with a considerable payout were all of his predictions on a Sportpesa weekly Mega Jackpot correct.

He predicted 16 football matches correctly out of the total 17.

Matata, however, bagged a couple of million from his 16 correct predictions.

The man based in Kawangware said he had strived for years to win big on Sportpesa until his recent play.

"I have been predicting since 2016 but I have not won anything considerable, I had never got a call like this. The much I have won since then is KSh 15,000," he said.

Sportpesa lined a motorcade from its Nairobi offices to Matata's Kawangware home to pick him up for his goodies.

Matata is among the gamblers who won good monies with Sportpesa a span of weeks apart.

KSh 27m Sportpesa jackpot won

In November, Thika town-based businessman Esbon Maina, who owns a hardware shop, rightly predicted all 13 matches on the midweek jackpot to win over KSh 27 million.

"We have a winner! SportPesa is proud to announce Kshs. 27,041,645 Midweek Jackpot has been won," announced the betting firm.

SportPesa treated Macharia to a presidential-like motorcade and security precision while unveiling him on Tuesday, November 28.

He was picked up from his shop in Thika and driven to Nairobi, where he was handed his goodies.

Macharia, aboard a Sportpesa vehicle, was sandwiched between police outriders, connoting security accorded to an elite person.

The man said he would use the money to stock his shop as well as undertake other projects.

This came months after the gaming firm unveiled another midweek jackpot.
