BetPawa's biggest-ever winner, Folton walked away with over Shs.486 million

Meet Folton, betPawa’s biggest ever winner. He bet 38 legs and won Shs110,477,322. That total was more than quadrupled to Shs486,102, 216.80 by a 340 percent win bonus.

The civil engineer from Lira’s win was as dramatic as it was huge. In three of the final six matches on his betslip, PSG won with an 87th-minute penalty, AC Milan were victorious from 2-0 down and 10-man Real Sociedad scored a 90th-minute winner. This is Folton’s story, in his own words:

After I realised that the first 36 games on my betslip ended in my favour, that’s when I believed that I could win it. The remaining two games were AC Milan Vs Verona and Real Sociedad Vs Mallorca. 

I was watching the AC Milan game but, after 55 minutes, I decided to leave and go home as Verona were leading. Little did I know that a relative was watching this game from home and he knew about my bet.

He told me not to worry and that AC Milan were going to win the game. I never believed him, but he insisted that, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic still on the bench, AC Milan would win it.

As I was in the bedroom, the guy wouldn’t let me rest as he was on the top of his voice, cheering, so I was forced to come and ask him what the score was. I stood and looked at him in disbelief as he told me that AC Milan got a penalty and then Verona scored an own goal.

After learning that AC Milan had won, I also asked him for the Real Sociedad result and he also confirmed that they had won. I responded to him that “you know what, poverty is out of this house for good”.

We went outside in our compound, invited a few close friends plus family members and we bought a few drinks to celebrate.

I’m buying a new tractor and more land and I’m venturing into commercial agriculture. I will be employing over 200 people with my project.

What I can tell you is to always be smart and always bet in a responsible manner.

Bet responsibly. 25+. Betting is addictive and can be psychologically harmful.
