The last week of October 2026 will be forever etched in the memory of 47-year-old Peter Mwaniki who saw his life transform into absolute riches after winning a staggering 102,768,777 shillings after correctly calling the 15/15 SportPesa Mega Jackpot.
What started with a confirmed win on 25 October ended up with luxurious out of town trip to the warm coastal town of Mombasa where the father of four, alongside his family, enjoyed five-star treatment during the official unveil.

Mwaniki won the 15/15 SportPesa Mega Jackpot, taking home over 102 million after correctly predicting the outcomes of all the matches held on 25 October.
Surprisingly, Mwaniki did not initially know he had won and it was only after leading online gaming firm SportPesa reached out to him after bagging one of the country’s biggest jackpot prizes this year that he learnt of his new circumstances.

The news marked an extraordinary turn of events for a man whose two decades in the transport industry have been defined by the daily responsibility of earning a living and looking after his family.
For Mwaniki, however, the significance of the KES 102 million goes well beyond the size of the cheque.

It represents an opportunity to give his four children greater security, ease the financial pressures that come with raising a family and build a more stable future for those closest to him.
“I have spent most of my adult life working hard to provide for my family, so this is something I never imagined would happen.
My first thoughts were about my wife and children. I want them to have opportunities that perhaps I could not always afford to give them, and to know that their future is more secure.
This money gives us a chance to make some important decisions as a family and plan for the years ahead. I am truly grateful,” said Mwaniki.
His win adds a new chapter to the SportPesa Mega Jackpot, one of the country’s most closely followed football prediction competitions.
The jackpot’s appeal lies in its ability to turn the outcome of football matches into a potentially life-changing moment for a participant who correctly predicts every result.

On his immediate plans, Mwaniki said he intends to take his time before making any major decisions, choosing instead to maintain his normal routine as he considers the best way to put his newfound fortune to use.
“I don’t have any immediate plans. This came as a surprise, and I don’t want to make any rushed decisions. I’ll continue with my day-to-day job for at least the next five months as I take time to consider my next course of action,” he said.
Speaking during the winner’s unveiling, SportPesa Head of Marketing Esther Kange’the said Mwaniki’s story reflected the significance of the Mega Jackpot and the excitement surrounding the moment when a winner finally emerges.
“Every jackpot winner has a unique story, and Peter’s is particularly special. Behind the KES 102 million prize is a father who has spent years working to provide for his family.
We recognize what this moment means to him and those who depend on him, and we hope he uses this opportunity to make thoughtful decisions that will benefit his family for years to come.
“The Mega Jackpot remains one of our flagship products, and it is always a significant moment when someone correctly predicts all the results and claims the top prize.
We congratulate Peter and wish him and his family the very best as they begin this new chapter,” Esther added.
Courtesy of his win, the 15/15 SportPesa Mega Jackpot will reset to 40 million.
The 17/17 SportPesa Mega Jackpot however currently stands at over 137 million and you can win it all using only 99 shillings as required stake.
