A lucky Kenyan punter has made history after clinching the SportPesa Mega Jackpot, scoring a staggering KSh 424,660,618 by correctly predicting all 17 football match results in the weekend draw held on Sunday, August 3, 2025. It marks the first time the Mega Jackpot has been won since 2018.
The winner, identified by SportPesa only as Bonnie Kamau, saw his life change overnight. With just KSh 99 — the cost of a single Mega Jackpot ticket — Kamau matched every match outcome across European, Scandinavian, and South American club fixtures, including Sasliga and the Paraguayan Superclásico.
SportPesa confirmed the draw featured standout matches like Aarhus vs Midtjylland and Club Olimpia vs Cerro Porteno, which wrapped up action shortly before 22:00 EAT.
It’s official🚨 424 million SportPesa Mega Jackpot imetembeaaaaa!💥 🗣️Wasee na 99 bob tu, na kumbuka haikatwiiii ina-land ikiwa full, weeeeuuuh!💥 Admin desk hatuna maneno, mikono ina-shake mbayaaa! More details about the winner zinadrop!!🔥 #SpBeatTheOdds
This breakthrough win ends the jackpot’s seven-year drought, as no bettor had succeeded since 2018. Gordon Ogada, a previous record-holder, sits among past winners like Samuel Abisai and Cosmas Korir, whose mega payouts of up to KSh 230 million once made national headlines.
A full 17/17 ticket costs only KSh 99, making it accessible to many Kenyans. Even missing one or two results can still earn bonuses if you predict 12 or more accurately. The prize pool surged from KSh 419 million (just weeks ago) to this historic high, bringing national excitement.The sporting and betting communities have erupted in excitement and disbelief:
“The level of precision required to go 17/17 is phenomenal. This is one of those sporting miracles,” said Michael Kinuthia, betting analyst and former Odds Kenya contributor.
On X, user @jameskinyua wrote: “We’ll now be calling him Bonnie ‘424’ Kamau. This is bigger than winning the league.”
Even SportPesa ambassador and ex-Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama reacted to the news on Instagram, calling it “the kind of goal every Kenyan dreams of scoring.”
SportPesa sparked more hype via their official channels:“We’re waiting on that call… 424 million is live,” one Instagram post hinted in playful anticipation of the winner’s identity.
Kamau has joined an exclusive club of Kenyan millionaires created by SportPesa’s Mega Jackpot. His win, while anonymous, offers hope to thousands of punters.
Ordinary Kenyans continue to be drawn by the Mega Jackpot’s low-cost, high-reward appeal.
As the next draw approaches, many will try to emulate Kamau’s success.
