Betika announced on Monday that Rashid Abdalla Said, a 54-year-old driver from Mombasa, is the latest winner of the KES 15,000,000 Midweek Jackpot. The announcement was made during an event held at a Nairobi hotel, marking a life-changing moment for Rashid, who has been a loyal Betika user for five years.

Rashid’s incredible win came on November 25 after he placed a quick Ksh15 bet and correctly predicted the outcomes of 15 games. For Rashid, the thrilling news was first delivered by his son, followed by an official congratulatory message from Betika confirming his jackpot win.

Betting has been a dedicated hobby for Rashid, one where he invests significant time analyzing and recording his predictions. However, this particular bet was placed in a rush due to an urgent task at work.

“I placed the bet as usual, feeling calm and relaxed, until I noticed that only two games were left. That’s when the excitement hit me. I quickly took a screenshot of the slip and sent it to my son, telling him not to call me until both matches ended exactly as I had predicted. When my son finally called and confirmed the results, and I received the confirmation from Betika, it felt like a dream come true. I couldn’t believe it – I had actually won!” Rashid recounted.

This win couldn’t have come at a better time for Rashid, who had recently applied for a loan to support his son’s dream of studying and working abroad. Rashid described his win as the miracle he secretly hoped for, and the timing of the jackpot made the moment all the more special.

Overwhelmed with disbelief after the initial notification, Rashid admitted he couldn’t sleep or eat. Now that the shock has subsided, he plans to deposit his winnings into a fixed account while carefully planning the best way to use his newfound fortune.

During the announcement, Betika Group CEO Mutua Mutava praised Rashid’s persistence and dedication, saying:
“We are thrilled to celebrate Rashid Abdalla Said as our latest winner of the KES 15,000,000 Midweek Jackpot. This win is a testament to the power of persistence and belief, and we are proud to be a part of Rashid’s life-changing moment. At Betika, we continue to offer opportunities for players to dream big and, like Rashid, turn those dreams into reality.

Rashid will now have a chance to support his son’s dream abroad without much hustle. I wish him and his family all the best as they plan on how best to utilize their fortune to ensure they change their lives for good.”
