23-year-old Kenyan Farmer Wins Sh200 Million Betika Mega Jackpot

A 23-year-old man from Kericho County is the newest multi-millionaire in town after bagging a Sh200 million mega jackpot.

Moses Kiprono, a farmer who cleared high school in 2021, won the Sh200 million Betika Mega Jackpot after predicting 17 matches correctly using a Sh49 stake.

Kiprono, who has been the breadwinner of his family after his father allegedly abandoned them, said he was overjoyed and overwhelmed by his fortune.

“I am very happy, I am very excited,” Kiprono said on Wednesday.

Since a 20 percent withholding tax will be applied to the windfall, Kiprono is expected to receive about Sh160 million.

He becomes the second winner of the Betika Mega Jackpot after 22-year-old Eli Kipruto Rotich, who won in December 2022.

Kipruto, a student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (JKUAT), also bagged Sh200 million after predicting 17 Mega Jackpot matches correctly using a Sh49 stake.
