A delighted Maliti received his scratch card jackpot cheque from the Kenya Charity Sweepstake’s Jennifer Kilonzo. The delighted winner was quoted as saying, ”I could not believe my eyes when I saw three symbols looking alike, meaning I had won the money. I immediately called my son to verify the ticket”.
For the latest scratchcard winner the money could not come in handier as he is married with nine children. He plans on using some of the proceeds to purchase additional land and improve his farming activities.
