Stephen Chogo Visendi's winning streak began when he shared his selection on WhatsApp with three of his friends.

In an inspiring story that has captured the hearts of many, Stephen Chogo Visendi, a 51-year-old construction manager and electrician from Vihiga County, has become the inaugural winner of a staggering Ksh 10,000,000 in SportPesa’s free-to-play game, Goal Rush.

Mr Visendi, who works as a foreman in Kitengela, Kajiado County, decided to try his luck on the exciting Goal Rush game by SportPesa. With no money required to participate, he made his predictions and walked away with a life-changing sum, instantly transforming his fortunes.

The unique Goal Rush game challenges players to predict the first team to score and the exact minute the goal will be scored in three different games. Adding a social twist, players share their bet slips on social media, increasing excitement and engagement.

Stephen's winning streak began when he shared his selection on WhatsApp with three of his friends. Demonstrating both skill and luck, his predictions were spot-on, making him the first-ever winner of the game, which launched in March 2024.

Upon receiving the congratulatory message from SportPesa Kenya, Stephen was overwhelmed with emotion. "I could not believe it when I saw the message. I didn’t sleep that night and kept chatting with the SportPesa customer care official," he said, tears in his eyes. "I then broke into a hymn, that when God decides to bless you, nobody can stop it."

Visendi’s life has dramatically changed overnight. From earning a daily wage of Ksh 1,200 to becoming a millionaire, he already has plans to make significant changes in his life and community. He intends to invest in property, support his family's future stability, and help his wife start a business to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams. Education is also a priority, with plans to use part of his winnings to ensure his children receive the best education possible.

"Winning this money is a life-changing blessing. I am excited to invest in property, help my wife start her own business, and provide a bright future for my children through quality education," Stephen expressed his gratitude.

Stephen Visendi received his cheque from SportPesa’s brand ambassador Biggie.
