Lilongwe Man Wins 23 Million Kwacha Playing Premier Bet's Rocket Man Game

Malawi: A 29-year-old man from Area 25 C in Lilongwe, has won a staggering 23 million kwacha playing Premier Bet's Rocket Man game, writes Bridget Mwanoka.

Andsen Banda placed a stake of K250 on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, and was presented with a dummy cheque at Premier Bet's head offices in Lilongwe.

"I have been idle without any tangible source of income," Banda said.

"I am a Chancellor College graduate of Media Studies, so I will use the money to start a media company specializing in video production, design, and jingle creation."

Premier Bet and Premier Lotto Commercial Manager Trevor Whitaker urged the public not to rely on gambling as a source of income, but rather to view it as a recreational activity.

"It's a good development that people are winning in large numbers," Whitaker said. "However, people should not use gambling as a source of income."

Banda's win comes just four days after another Lilongwe resident, Tamandani Mtegha, won 8 million kwacha playing a Premier Bet game.
