It must have been a time of imaginations and regrets mixed with immense happiness after one Gayaza poultry businessman missed out on winning 2 billion shilling, but still walked away with 685 million.

This victor selected his 33-match ticket, going for fulltime wins and goal-goal. With his 3,000/=, he placed the first ticket then he decided to place the same ticket two more times.

“At some point, I was tempted to cash out 5 million from the two tickets and I sacrificed one. To my surprise, this ticket (number 360663616461026730) won. If I had left the other two as well, I was going to win over 2 billion,” the winner noted, while picking his cash

“I am going to buy myself a completed house and a small car for my ailing father to manage his transportation to the hospital. I will then invest the rest in business,” he added.
