The lucky student regretted that he could have made over N2 million in the stakes but for a slight miscalculation.
“Ordinarily I was expecting to win up to N2 million but I got a wrong code and it reduced my chances. This is my third month of trying my luck in this stake. My brother introduced me to it and, ever since then, I have been playing. Before now, I played more of Premier Lotto (Baba Ijebu),” Whetode said.
The winner said he would buy a plot of land in Badagry, adding that he had been under pressure since he won the lottery money.
“Ever since I won, moving around has been difficult. People keep pointing at me and showing friends that I have won N1 million in the stakes. Then my parents have been excited. In fact, I will never forget today and that particular Friday that I realised that I had become a millionaire,” he said.
Obasa told The Nation that he was excited that the organisation produce the first millionaire within few months of starting the business.
He said: “We can never run out of money. Sports betting business has come to stay and our duty is to ensure that our winners go home with their cash prizes. I must congratulate Whetode. I intend making him a brand ambassador for the company.”
The Chairman of Lagos State Football Association (FA), Seyi Akinwunmi, advised Whetode to invest the money wisely.
