SportPesa’s Newest Millionaire: The Story of Dominic Musili’s Incredible Win

SportPesa, the leading online gaming company in Kenya, recently celebrated its latest millionaire, Dominic Musili, who claimed an impressive Ksh 20,801,394 in the Midweek Jackpot. The 40-year-old father of three achieved this life-changing win by correctly predicting the outcomes of 13 matches, all for a modest bet of Ksh 99.

A loyal player of SportPesa for over five years, Musili became the fifth winner of the Midweek Jackpot in 2024, joining a growing community of fortunate individuals whose lives have been transformed through the platform. His remarkable achievement was marked by a vibrant unveiling ceremony that captured the excitement of his victory.

The celebrations took place in the bustling heart of Nairobi, where a police-led convoy honored Musili, passing through iconic landmarks such as Juja Road, Dandora Roundabout, and Jacaranda before culminating in an official event in Pipeline. Musili, visibly joyful, arrived on stage to the lively beat of the “Anguka Nayo” dance, embodying his extraordinary journey from an ordinary life to that of a jackpot winner.

In his reflections, Musili recounted the surreal moment he received the congratulatory message from SportPesa. While in Nanyuki at the time of placing his bet, he initially felt a glimmer of hope after accurately predicting eight games on the first day. However, the realization that he had correctly picked all 13 games left him in disbelief. “I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up the whole night—it was unbelievable,” he recalled.

Musili aims to channel his winnings into real estate investments and new business ventures, turning aspirations into reality. “Before winning the Ksh 20.8 million Midweek Jackpot, I always dreamed of owning property. Now, I can make that dream come true and also dive into business,” he shared.

His victory places him alongside other recent lucky winners, including Bernard Kipkoech, Charles Obwoge, and Wellington Asena, who collectively won Ksh 17.8 million in August, as well as Omondi Oyoo and Athuman Salim, who shared Ksh 26.8 million in June 2024.

Following Musili’s win, the SportPesa Midweek Jackpot has reset to Ksh 10 million, while the Mega Jackpot, still unclaimed, has escalated to an astounding Ksh 384 million, awaiting its next lucky recipient. With just Ksh 99, players across Kenya have the chance to drastically change their fortunes.

Beyond the jackpots, SportPesa is committed to uplifting communities through its innovative Tujiamini Initiative. This year-long campaign allocates up to Ksh 30 million to support both individual and team sports talents nationwide. It encourages Kenyans to take pride in their abilities and provides a platform to nurture and showcase athletic and artistic potential.
