Man Abandoned By Wife For Being Poor Wins N63M Jackpot Lottery

 His wife who had left him due to their life of penury has now made a U-turn when she found out the same man won a N63m jackpot.
The man, Joseph Onywera, 62, a farmer from Kenya won the staggering sum early June from Betway Company after he correctly predicted the outcome of 13 football matches in the English Premier League, The Nation reports.

The woman had told him she’d never come back and had run off with another man because he was broke, but in no time she came back begging.
Mr Onywera believed in his spirit so much that he placed the bet with Betway gaming company with his last 100 Kenyan shillings (N300). Lady Luck finally smiled at the man as he hit the jackpot. He’s the traditional embodiment of the rags to riches tale!
Onywera won 20 million shillings which roughly translates to N63m.

Before he placed his bet, Mr Onywera’s mind was in turmoil. He said he could hear discouraging voices screaming in his head. He ignored them and gambled away his last Ksh100.
The man said on his wife’s return, “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.”
