a twist of fate, 78-year-old Peter Wafula has shocked his family and community by abandoning his wife of 45 years and their grown children after winning a Ksh. 65 million bet jackpot.
The once humble farmer, who had spent decades in relative obscurity, is now the talk of the town in Bungoma after his life took an unexpected turn.
The elderly man’s windfall came courtesy of a prediction purchased from a well-known Telegram tipster, Liz Tipster, who has gained a reputation for helping bettors strike it rich with her accurate odds.
Wafula, who had been trying his luck in betting for years with little success, decided to take a chance on Liz’s predictions, which proved to be life-changing.
Wafula’s transformation began the moment he realized he had won the massive jackpot.
In an astonishing move, he decided to leave behind his 66-year-old wife, Martha, with whom he had raised six children. According to neighbors, the elderly couple had lived a modest life together, but Wafula’s newfound wealth seemed to have awakened a different side of him.
In a move that has left many in disbelief, Wafula used a portion of his winnings to marry a 25-year-old Kikuyu girl, much to the dismay of his family.
The young woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, is said to be from Nyeri and has quickly adapted to her new lifestyle as the wife of a millionaire.“I have lived a long life, and now it’s my time to enjoy the fruits of my labor,” Wafula reportedly told friends when questioned about his drastic decisions.
He expressed no regret for leaving his wife and children, claiming that he had spent enough years in the shadows and deserved to experience the pleasures that his wealth could bring.
The news of Wafula’s actions has sparked a heated debate within his community, with some criticizing his abandonment of his family, while others see it as a man seizing an opportunity to enjoy his remaining years in comfort.
However, many have also raised concerns about the role of Liz Tipster in this story, wondering if her influence on Wafula’s decision to bet was too strong.
Meanwhile, Martha Wafula and her children are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.
The family, who had relied on Peter as their pillar, is now grappling with the reality of life without him.
Friends close to Martha say she is heartbroken and struggles to understand how the man she spent her life with could walk away so easily.
