Joseph Kirimi, a hotelier from Lare in Meru County, is the latest Kenyan to strike it big after landing a KSh 10 million windfall from SportPesa’s Goal Rush game.

Kirimi’s life changing win came on 12 April 2026 after he delivered a flawless performance in the free to play prediction game, accurately calling the first team to score and the exact time of the opening goal across all three selected matches.

It is a rare feat that demands both precision and instinct, and on that day everything aligned.

What began as an ordinary workday quickly turned into a moment he will never forget. Speaking during the winner unveiling, Kirimi revealed that he initially believed he had fallen just short, convinced that only two of his three predictions were correct.

It was only after friends around him double checked the results that the reality sank in and confirmed he had hit the jackpot. The confirmation sparked immediate celebrations at his hotel as colleagues and customers joined in to mark the milestone.

For Kirimi, the KSh 10 million prize is not just a win but a turning point. He describes it as the biggest amount he has ever received, one that now opens up new possibilities for both himself and his family.

At the top of his plans is investing in land within Lare town, with the long term goal of putting up rental units, an investment he hopes will secure steady income in the future.

Kirimi now joins a growing list of winners who have walked away with the top prize since the launch of Goal Rush.

His victory adds to the game’s rising profile among Kenyan players, showing how one accurate call can change everything overnight.
