I don’t think gambling=intellect/ investment acumen

Yes sir!
There is a reason gambling companies market to the gullible and the education challenged. They know they may not have ever heard the word "odds" in their lives let alone have the mathematical ability to compute them or apply that simple knowledge to their decision making process.

For every one Ogada there are 1 million other of his type who lost good money chasing 1 million to 1 odds. That is why the jackpot is so huge. The house (Sportpesa) are the ones hitting the real jackpot. They probably raked in a cool billion from these fellows and only paid out 230 milli, Look at some other ones hapa.... ya dunia kweli..

10 dumbest lottery winners

Hope this Gordon guy took the lump sum payment of the 230 million payout, I think there is usually an option of an instalment payment over say 10 years for an almost price sum or a lump sum payment which can be sometimes 50% of the price money, with sportpesa issues would they pay-up, a bird in hand is waay better than 230 million in sportpesa's accounts.
