Inspired by its huge success in Kenya, SportPesa launched another lifechanging jackpot in Tanzania in 2017, giving people the opportunity to win big. Since then, six Tanzanians have won and had their lives transformed.

In 2019, the first two winners were crowned. Kingsley Pascal from Kagera and Magabe Matiku Marwa from Mara won their share of an TSh 825 million prize pool. They each placed a TSh 2,000 bet against the outcomes of 13 matches, and got them all right.

In 2022 mechanic Florian Valerian Massawe from Kiluvya, Coast Region, won even bigger, taking home an incredible TSh 1.2 billion cash prize, a progressive jackpot accrued over 14 months and the biggest yet.

As well as these jackpot wins, hundreds of others have won their share of weekly prizes.

This is the SportPesa Effect in action—turning dreams into reality and creating life-changing opportunities for ordinary people through the power of sport.
