Simon, a barber from Lusaka, staked K6 on Aviator and won K2,350,000 at 391,666.66x, the maximum win per bet in Zambia. We caught up with him to hear how it happened.
Aviator is the game Simon always comes back to. He tries other games now and then, but none of them take its place.
"I love Aviator the most; sometimes I try other games, but Aviator is my outright favourite."
On the day of the win, he was playing at home when his phone lost connection mid-round.
"My network cut, and the screen turned black. When the network reconnected, I found the money was in my account. It was crazy."
At first, he wasn't sure what he was looking at. He checked, made a withdrawal, and waited for it to land.
"I was over the moon. I thought it was a dream. I checked, withdrew, saw the credit, and believed."
The first person he told was his wife. She didn't take his word for it.
"She did not believe me; she thought I was lying. I showed her, and she was in shock."
Simon placed a single K6 bet on Aviator. In Aviator, the multiplier climbs as the plane flies, and a bet pays its stake multiplied by the point at which it cashes out. Simon’s bet reached 391,666.66x, which paid the K2,350,000 maximum win per bet. By the time his network came back, the win was already in his account.
He hasn’t spent any of the win yet. betPawa has connected him with a financial advisor, and he wants to hear them out before he decides anything. He says the win will help his family and the people around him.
His message to other players is short.
"It is for fun alone."
