Betway, international sports betting provider on Wednesday announced that a Nigerian schoolteacher, Temitope A., became the winner of a N2 million jackpot in the Betway AFCON Predictor promotion for predicting the outcomes of the 2019 African Cup of Nations.
Temitope, a 26-year old man from Osun state, said he usually places bets only when there is a higher chance of winning.
Aside from also supporting Nigeria’s National team throughout the recently concluded competition, Temitope placed bets on Betway’s AFCON Predictor promotion, and eventually emerged top of the Betway leaderboard for players in Nigeria, winning the massive sum of N2 million.
Temitope couldn’t believe his luck when he was notified of his win from Betway, which he says he has been using since 2018.
“I was very, very happy I wanted to scream but I was invigilating in an exam hall,” the Arsenal fan recalls.
Temitope also said that he has devised plans to make good use of the money and intends to continue to use the Betway platform over all the other bookies in Nigeria.
“I deposited in my account yesterday. I am now waiting to select some good games for the new football season,” he added.
Speaking on Temitope’s victory, Betway Country Manager, Lere Awokoya said, “Betway is a betting giant that offers the highest odds, fast payouts and good customer care to assist players.
“That is why many Nigerian bettors are interested in placing their wagers on our platform”.
Temitope is just one of the many online players who have become millionaires by simply choosing to use the Betway platform.
