In one of the most talked-about twists of fate, Pastor Peter Wafula from Kakamega stunned Kenyans after bagging a whopping Ksh100 million jackpot through sports betting.
The pastor, who once led a small but loyal congregation, decided to shut down his church almost immediately after the life-changing win. Instead, he ventured into business—opening not one, but two buzzing clubs in Kakamega town.
How It All Began
Pastor Wafula’s journey into betting started like many others—out of curiosity. He came across Lizz Tipster, a well-known betting guru on Telegram, whose predictions have helped countless Kenyans secure wins. Taking a leap of faith, Wafula followed her tips, placed his bets, and hit the jackpot.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw the results,” he reportedly said, describing the moment his life changed forever.
Closing the Church
What shocked many was his decision to close his church soon after the win. To his congregation, it was an unexpected move, but Wafula insisted it was time to “walk a different path.” While he thanked his followers for their support during his years in ministry, he admitted he now felt called toward a new chapter.
The Shift to Nightlife
Using part of his jackpot, Wafula invested in two entertainment joints in Kakamega. The clubs have quickly gained popularity, drawing in crowds eager to enjoy nightlife in the town.
The transformation from pastor to club owner has divided public opinion. Some praised him for his bold entrepreneurial move, while others worried about the spiritual void left behind for his former flock.
The Bigger Picture
Pastor Wafula’s story has reignited conversations about sports betting in Kenya, which continues to attract both praise and criticism. It also highlights the influence of online tipsters like Lizz, who have built a reputation for helping ordinary Kenyans dream big.
Whether viewed as a fall from grace or a daring reinvention, one thing is clear: Wafula’s life is no longer the same. His story is a reminder that destiny often unfolds in the most unexpected ways.
