SportPesa is marking a milestone in history after Harambee Stars‘ win coincided with the first seven-year mega jackpot winner. The winner took away a whopping KSh 424 million.
It was not just a victory but also about creating entertainment and joy for the fans,” said Willis Ojwang, SportPesa PR and Advising Manager. These events have been leveraged by the company to build the Mega Jackpot Tour, which includes sporting excitement along with engagement at the community level.
SportPesa has continuously expanded its jackpot awards over the years. “The jackpot was KSh 100 million in 2018. It has gone up to KSh 230 million and now over KSh 400 million,” said Ojwang. This rise is a reflection of the company’s commitment to offering bigger prizes and increased chances for players.
The win also goes hand in hand with SportPesa’s focus on corporate social responsibility and financial literacy. The organization ensures that jackpot winners are counselled on how to spend their new wealth. “We follow winners to see how they invest. We hope the funds will find a lasting legacy in their families and communities,” Ojwang explained.
SportPesa boasts a past filled with jackpot winners whose fortunes have been forever transformed. Years down the line, the company has made it a culture to check on the expenditure of the winnings. The aim is to promote sustainable investment rather than fleeting consumption.
The celebrations extended beyond cheque presentation. Fans were involved in the Mega Jackpot Tour events, including viewing the Harambee Stars match and taking part in entertainment activities. SportPesa sees this as a way of keeping sports, celebration, and community spirit together.
For this week’s jackpot winner, overnight life is changed. But SportPesa’s work is not over in awarding the prize. Through mentorship and support programs, the company seeks to turn this victory into a lasting story of success.
While celebrating this record-breaking triumph, SportPesa upholds its message that jackpots are not just money winning. Jackpots are about giving dreams a chance, building communities, and having a positive influence on winners’ lives.
