29-year-old Patrick Nyakuni proved that there are many ways to kill a rat when it comes to winning the SportPesa Mega Jackpot bonus as he successfully walked away with Ksh. 11,173,683 after pooling together different bet combinations.
The Kajiado businessman, who registered with SportPesa back in 2016, reaped his highest ever win since then after playing in the latest edition of the SportPesa Mega Jackpot that stood at a staggering KSHs 364,851,665 last weekend.
The father of two just came short of winning the life-changing amount that could have placed him as the biggest jackpot winner the country has ever seen, as he correctly predicted 16/17 games in one of the different bet selections he had placed, picking Ksh 6,349,397 from that specific slip.
With SportPesa giving its gamers a chance to play other jackpots within the Mega Jackpot itself, Nyakuni took advantage of the opportunity and ended up winning bonuses in the 15, 14, 13 and 12 Mega Jackpots where he had also placed bets.
The 15 Mega Jackpot earned him a combined Ksh 1,736,545, the 14 Ksh 1,600,132, the 13 Ksh 1,045,564 and the 12 getting him Ksh 442,043 which resulted to the overall over 11 million.
During his unveiling in Nairobi’s Central Business District, an elated Nyakuni was all smiles as he immersed himself in song and dance to celebrate his momentous occasion as he became the latest millionaire to be minted from SportPesa’s long line of millionaires.
“I have been playing with SportPesa since 2016 when I was inspired by the jackpot. Since then, I have had dreams of winning it and I am nearer to doing it since I only missed one game out of the seventeen.
I felt really good to win this 11 million because the highest I have won before was around two hundred thousand so to get here is a big jump. Obviously I wanted to win the overall amount, but I am grateful for what I got, ” he said.
“I have been placing combinations for a long time now and I like it because it gives me some sort of safety net to my bets,” explained Nyakuni.

“Already, I have plans that include expanding my business and doing some development at home but I still plan to play the Mega Jackpot because my dream is to win the whole amount and I am not relenting on that dream.
To every other gamer out there, just keep trying because the more you try, the closer you come to winning it,” he concluded.
