The 39-year-old joins three other winners to have won Sportpesa’s biggest prize in the last two years.

However, Korir will not enjoy the whole amount by himself, with the taxman ready to cut his fair share. 

If the recent Bill that was signed into an Act will be effected, then Korir will be forced to part with 20 percent of his winning. 

According to the Finance Bill 2018 passed by parliament on September 20, all customer winnings on betting will attract 20 percent taxation.

Korir hails from Cheptabach village in Konoin, Bomet, and currently works at the West Pokot county government as the director of Agriculture.
