A 34-year old Irish potato seller John Solomon, from Chisapo in Lilongwe, has won MK29 million. The large sum was won after he placed a simple K150 at a Premier Bet shop in the area.

During his cheque presentation ceremony, Solomon revealed that he began betting last year and had small wins only.

“I did not expect that I would win such money and I cannot say now how I would use it but improving my business is something I must certainly prioritize. I encourage those that are persevering with betting as I did to continue doing so because they will finally reap what they are sowing,” said a the happy winner Solomon.

According to the current Malawian Premier Bet records, he is the only one who has won that huge amount of money in the Central Region in the first half of the year 2019. In April, a 27-year-old Blantyre-based business man Lajeshah Jannat has broken history since the introduction of Premier Bet Malawi Company in the country after becoming the best lucky winner with K109 million cash prize through soccer betting.
