Solwezi mining technician unearths K55,529.10 win with K1 stake

Benon Sawelo was inspired to try and bet small win BIG after hearing about a previous Zambian BIG betPawa winner and did exactly that on the 1st October, winning K55,529.10 from a K1 bet.

“What really motivated me was the win by Loti Mumba who won K67,000-plus by staking only K5. I told myself that the next blank cheque from betPawa will bare my name on it.” he revealed.

Extracting valuable items is part of the day job for the heavy duty technician at the Kalumbila mine in Solwezi and his 24 picks saw him net a 130% win bonus on top of his K24,142.65 win.

“The bonus now is unbelievable. You can imagine my bonus is more than what I could have won. That is the best bet small win BIG situation,” the BIG winner confided.

Zambia’s best win bonuses on bets of three legs or more can be found at betPawa, with bonuses escalating with every correct leg right up to 250% for a bet of 30 correct picks.

Benon’s got that bet small win BIG feeling

“It is unbelievable. It couldn’t come at a better time than this. I kept on checking my bet slip ‘til I felt depressed and went to sleep,” Sawelo recalled.

“At around 5:00am, early in the morning, I checked again and gosh it had the favourite colour green. Every gambler dreams to see all his selections turn green at the end of the day. It was my turn. I had won.”

“This is real. Look at me. You have travelled all the way from Lusaka just to interview me. How real can it be more than this. By the way I have even withdrawn my first K10,000 and the balance is correct in my account.”

“If they [potential betPawa players] are not clear on what to do, they can call customer care and they will guide you step by step. You don’t even need to have talktime to talk to betPawa personnel, you can live them a “call me back” text and they always call.”

What next for Benon and his winnings?

Fresh from reaping K55,529.10 from his K1 stake and 24 inspired selections, Mr Sawelo will soon be farming a new plot of land bought with the proceeds, as well as treating his wife.

“I have secured a farm plot and as soon as I withdraw all my money am gonna pay for it. Am gonna spoil my wife to be a little bit too.This is a good feeling. I have money.”
