Mr Tanui, who is a father of five managed to predict 16 out of the 17. He won Sh31,736,374 out of Sh200 million for predicting all the 17 games correctly.

He missed out on the full win after predicting a home win in the Aasane Football vs Ullensaker/Kisa game which ended in an away win.

Mr Tanui was overwhelmed by joy during the unveiling ceremony saying that the windfall came as a surprise to him.

“I can’t believe I have won this money. I placed two bets on MJP which is usual for me. I was following the games keenly as I always do and was pleasantly surprised when one of the bets was doing extremely well,” he said.

The 51year old has said he will continue being underemployment despite winning such a huge amount of money.

“I’ve worked at the Londiani Sub-County Hospital for almost 30 years now and I am not ready to leave yet. I love what I do there and I’d like to continue my work, at least for now,” he said.
