A chemical engineer, John Manase Buko,
is the latest millionaire after winning a
Sh24.8 million mCHEZA jackpot on
Wednesday.
Buko, 29, walked away with the cash
after correctly predicting the outcome of
all 13 football matches listed by the
betting firm last week.
Buko, who hails from Ngao village in
Tana River and works as chemical
engineer at a power plant in Mombasa,
was excited about the windfall but
appeared calm and relaxed even as he
was presented with his cheque in
Nairobi on Wednesday.
Speaking shortly before he was
presented with the cheque, Buko said
that it was not by sheer luck that he hit
the jackpot adding that he has spent a
tidy Sh600,000 in past bets.
However, for the jackpot, he used a
paltry Sh800. The minimum bet amount
one can put on the jackpot is Sh100.
“This is not the first time I have placed
bets. I have had my fair share of losses. I
therefore learnt to study the matches
and the teams, keep records of their
previous performance then place my
bets. At times, I would take soft loans to
bet and I am grateful that with all the
research and hard work, I have finally
won the jackpot,” he said.
Asked on his future plans, Buko said:
“I’ll set up a car garage and use my
experience gained from work to run it.
I’ll however not quit my job.”
