BetLion unveils Shs 5 million Cranes jackpot winner

Haruna Kalungi was on Sunday July 15 declared winner of Shs 5 million thanks to BetLion's Cranes Jackpot.

Kalungi won the booty after he correctly predicted 10 out of 13 games.

The progressive sports game involves selecting the outcome of 13 preselected games and 3 reserve games, with partial wins earned from 10 correct predictions and free entry into the next jackpot for 9 correct predictions.

Players can either self-select their predictions or have a lucky dip automatically or favourites selected on their behalf.

The current maximum pot win is Shs 150 million.

“I never thought in a million years that I would win. I was speechless, I still can’t believe it,” said Kalungi. “I’ve been playing with BetLion for a month now and it’s not.”

Haruna's jackpot win couldn’t have come at a better time for him.

“I plan to buy a piece of land I have been eyeing for a while now,” he said.

Lionel Kabenge, managing director of BetLion, said: “The Cranes Jackpot payout indicates to our players the winning potential of BetLion’s innovative games. We are delighted to congratulate Mr. Kalungi on his good fortune and we wish him and all our players the very best of luck while playing with us.”
