NAIROBI, KENYA – November 05, 2026: Two Kenyans have become the latest millionaires through Betika’s KES 50 million Must Be Won Jackpot, each walking away with KES 25 million after correctly predicting 13 out of 15 matches to emerge joint top scorers at the end of the eight-week competition period.
Peter Gachau, a 45-year-old farmer from Murang’a County, and Raban Ngatia, a 46-year-old businessman based in Narok, emerged as the highest-scoring participants in the latest jackpot round, earning an equal share of the KES 50 million prize.
For Gachau, the win marks a significant milestone for a man whose roots are firmly grounded in farming and family life. Originally from Kangari in Murang’a County, he currently resides in Embakasi, Nairobi, with his wife Caroline and their three children, a 15-year-old daughter and two sons aged 10 and 6.
Speaking about his win, Gachau said: “I am still trying to take it all in. I have always enjoyed following football and testing my knowledge through the jackpot, but I never imagined I would eventually become a millionaire from it. KES 25 million is a huge blessing for my family and me. It gives us an opportunity to improve our lives, secure our children’s future and make plans that previously seemed out of reach. I am grateful to Betika for this opportunity.”
For Ngatia, who runs a business supplying wooden doors from Narok to Kisii, the windfall is an opportunity to take stock of his journey and plan for his family’s future. Married to Leah Wanjiku and a father of three young children, the businessman says the win is a moment he and his family will cherish for years to come.

“I am extremely happy. As a businessman, I understand the importance of hard work and making the right decisions, and this win is something I never saw coming. I have been following the jackpot and making my predictions, but to finally walk away with KES 25 million is an incredible feeling. My biggest priority is my family, and this money will give us an opportunity to build a more secure future and explore investments that can benefit us for years to come,” said Ngatia.
