  • Summary

  • How does it feel to win Sh208 million? Can you imagine it? What do you do first? Do you change your lifestyle immediately? Do you let the money stay in the bank for a day, a week, or a month? What would you do? Is this even real? To over six million gamblers at the height of the betting craze in Kenya, winning the Jackpot was the most important show. This is where the big monies are, it is the dream land for betting. The question on winners and especially big money winners is a dicy one, while Sportpesa told us we could visit all their winners, A Country of Gamblers had trouble accessing other big winners except Cosmas Korir, the Sh208 million jackpot winner. In this episode, we try to answer the question, were the wins real wins? But does it end like this for everyone? By the time of the big wins, Sportpesa had become an unstoppable betting machine. It got everything right, with deep pockets for sponsorships, talented founders, and knee-deep connections in the right places.
