The 2023/2024 English Premier League season will forever be remembered for one extraordinary ForteBet punter who turned a modest UGX 20,000 stake into an astonishing 271 million UGX. This remarkable win has etched its place in betting history.

The winning ticket (number 3413353821089999) featured an impressive selection of 15 matches. The punter expertly predicted 10 full-time away wins, 3 full-time home wins, and included two ‘double chances’ (1X and X2) that covered either a home or away win or a draw. A deeper look at the odds reveals the secret to this massive win: 5 matches had odds above 2.00, 6 matches were over 1.50, with only a few under 1.50. This strategic mix of high and moderate odds paved the way to the grand prize.

The punter’s patience and precision paid off in a matter of hours, transforming him into a millionaire almost overnight. The cash handover ceremony took place at ForteBet’s Kololo head office, where the brand ambassador, Alex Muhangi, presented the winnings.

The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed his joy and relief. “I have been hunting for a win like this but it has not been coming. I am happy I have finally killed it,” he said. He plans to invest his winnings wisely, stating, “I am going to buy some land and build, then invest the rest of the money in my business (produce trade).”
