Monday 16 September will be a day etched in the annals of history for one Bob Muriuki who became the newest multi-millionaire after winning Sh 109,277,917 as he was officially handed the amount in a momentous occasion brimming with pomp and colour.
The dreadlocked punter who bagged hundreds of millions was handed a heros welcome to the Mozzart Bet offices as he was officially presented with the dummy cheque to signify the transfer of money to his account.
The part-time businessman who specialises in car spare parts was over the moon explaining to a bevy of reporters gathered how he managed to break the Mozzart Bet winning record.
"I am really happy to win this huge amount, I have been betting for a very long time and I'm more than happy because God has enabled me to win this. I put a stake of Sh200 and placed bets then realised that the odds were too much and asked myself how many games would enable me to win Sh16 million out of desperation and saw it was Sh37 and placed the same bet five times and that is how I managed to emerge as the winner,” said Muriuki.
Having staked bets religiously, the firm believer was quick to open up on his plans to issue in his tithe which he also plans to go over and beyond just as his blessings.
"I plan to give God his share, most people give 10% but that is not the threshold so I will do more than 10%. I sell spares of cars and I have five kids. I haven't been able to take good care of them because I have been really struggling but I will make sure they will inherit the wealth of their father," he said.
The lucky punter issued some sound advice to gamers who are dreaming of following his journey to the overnight embarrassment of riches and also revealed why he chose Mozzart Bet.
"Perseverance is the key to winning and also betting religiously, target to bet everyday because once you lose hope there is no way you can win. When you place a bet you stand a chance of winning, you will lose some of your bets but one day one bet will change your life and lastly it pays.
I really like Mozzart Bet because unlike the other betting sites, Mozzart has the biggest odds, it also has the Happy Monday where they give you a bonus every Monday and it's also the only betting site that compensates you when you lose one game in your bet slip.
I remember there was a time when I was about to win Ksh9 million but lost by a single game and they gave me Ksh88,000, which betting site will bless you like that? Mozzart Bet give you hope, like for me I was selling spares but now my life has completely changed.
People talk ill of gambling but I believe that there is a science behind it, it is just a way of predicting who will win and hope that there is luck on your site," he said.
Mozzart Marketing Manager Frank Ochieng' was delighted to hand over the cheque to Muriuki who was the beneficiary of one of the best products of the gaming firm as he also gave his commitment to ensuring the money is put into good use.
"Bob Muriuki is our biggest winner since our inception, he has benefited from one of our biggest products which is the 1000% bonus, if you look at all his multibets they have some bonus on the winnings and five of them were cumulating to the maximum pay out of Sh20 million.
He won all six bets to bring his total to Sh109 million, it is a good day for us because we usually look forward to such winners as this is the only way that we can be able to demonstrate that in deed it is possible to win.
He mentioned that he would us to take part in advising him financially, we've had such cases before but ours is only to advise and not make a decision for them,” said Ochieng.
