Eddy Kikonyogo, 30, a city businessman based in Bwaise has set a new record having won Shs 397.9 Million from BetPawa, an international gambling company, making him the second biggest winner in Africa at betpawa.
Kikonyogo won a total sum of Shs 397,976,060 after playing a casino game aviator on the betPawa platform with only Shs 2,000.
He says he opted for the aviator game after realising that there was a high possibility of winning so much more compared to other games.
“I have been placing football bets but when I discovered aviator, I realised there was a possibility of winning a lot of money within a very short time,”he said.
Recounting his winning experience, Kikonyogo said he was discouraged by some of his friends he had moved from playing further but he persisted.
“When I played, I was in the company of my friends who were asking me repeatedly to cashout by stopping the plane but I stood my ground to the point where I froze in disbelief when I saw the amount by which my stake had multiplied,”he said.
Ivy Iguundura, BetPawa’s Country Marketing Manager, said Betpawa is excited for yet another big win for one of its customers
“We are excited that this is yet another BIG win for our customer on aviator. We match the remarkable wins with instant payouts, making it more exciting and rewarding for the customers,”she said.
Kikonyogo’s win comes two months after aviator maker Spribe certified a BetPawa customer from Ghana called Fuseini as the highest winner ever in Africa. Fuseini won Shs 1.89 Billion on the casino game.
