Four months after winning Sh230 million Sportpesa Mega jackpot, Gordon Ogada says he is now broke.
Ogada who won the highest cash prize since the introduction of the mega jackpot by Sportpesa said he was ashamed of the way he spent the cash.
Ogada, the father of two after winning the mega jackpot, was captured dishing out money to cheering crowds in Kibera, where he had been living.
He said that he spent the money in investments, buying a house in Nairobi and a few cars which drained his money.
“After this kind of spending, I honestly feel embarrassed because sometimes I don’t even have a dime. I am no longer able to help my friends and relatives financially. They think I have loads of cash, when, in real sense, I don’t have money floating around.”
“I bought a house here in the city and a few cars, besides other investments here and there. All these cost millions. I’m literally drained of course. I might have made a few mistakes here and there. But largely, I did fine. I think I would be more responsible,” Ogada said during an interview with the Nairobian.
The previous Mega Jackpot winner, Samuel Abisai who won Sh221 million has invested his money in businesses.
