Man Abandoned By His Wife For Being Poor Wins N63m Jackpot

Joseph Onywera

 

A man has won Sh20 Million jackpot (N63m) after his wife abandoned him because he was very poor. 

 

According to The Nation, Joseph Onywera, 62, a farmer in Kapiyo in Kano, Kisumu County, won the colossal amount in early June from Betway Company after he correctly predicted the outcome of 13 football matches in the English Premier League.

 

The man who is addicted to gambling has refused to take back his wife who ran away with another man after telling him to his face that she can never come back unless he died because of his poor background and money issues.

 

But hardly a month after he hit the jackpot, she came back knocking.

 

“I saw her come into my compound and I wondered. She had told me to my face that she would only return after I die. So I told her to go away since I am still alive,” said Mr Onywera.

 

Speaking further on the incident, the Arsenal and Gor Mahia fan believes the woman, who is said to be married to a Tanzanian in Isebania, must have come back just because fortune had knocked at his door.

 

“Ever since she left, several incidents have happened that would attract her attention. My mother died but she did not turn up for her burial. My father also died and I had an accident, but she did not bother to check on us,” said the composed gambler.

 

But, he has revealed he has no plans for her as he is looking forward to marrying another woman, who, he said, stuck with him during his days of hardship.
