Midweek Jackpot Fever Sweeps Kenya As Ksh 16 Million Prize Sparks National Buzz

Kenyans across the country were glued to their screens and mobile phones as the SportPesa Midweek Jackpot came to a dramatic close, with KSH 16,099,654.00 up for grabs. The buzz was undeniable — from estate kiosks to X timelines, a new kind of midweek ritual has taken hold: the pursuit of a life-changing win.

This wasn’t just another Thursday. It was a national moment of hope, excitement, and possibilities. Thousands participated, making their 13 predictions and watching intently as the results came in. Across WhatsApp groups, barbershops, and break rooms, fans followed every outcome, hoping their selections would match the winning combination.

Midweek Jackpot: A new Kenyan tradition

“The response we saw this week shows that the Midweek Jackpot is no longer just a gaming product — it’s part of Kenyan culture,” said Willis Ojwang, Head of Communications at SportPesa Kenya.
“It’s about chasing dreams in the middle of the week, not waiting for a weekend miracle.”

What began as just another weekly feature on the platform has now become a midweek miracle, giving players a shot at millions every few days — not just once in a while.
