At 62 years and with nothing much except his children to show for it, everyone – including his wife –
had given up on Joseph Onywera. Except himself.
His wife who had left him due to their life of penury has now made a U-turn when she found out the same man won a N63m jackpot.
The man, Joseph Onywera, 62, a farmer from Kenya won the staggering sum early June from Betway Company after he correctly predicted the outcome of 13 football matches in the English Premier League, The Nation reports.
The woman had told him she’d never come back and had run off with another man because he was broke, but in no time she came back begging.
Mr Onywera believed in his spirit so much that he placed the bet with Betway gaming company with his last 100 Kenyan shillings (N300). Lady Luck finally smiled at the man as he hit the jackpot. He’s the traditional embodiment of the rags to riches tale!
Onywera won 20 million shillings which roughly translates to N63m.

Before he placed his bet, Mr Onywera’s mind was in turmoil. He said he could hear discouraging voices screaming in his head. He ignored them and gambled away his last Ksh100.
The man said on his wife’s return, “I saw her come into my compound and I wondered. She had told me to my face that she would only return after I die. So I told her to go away since I am still alive.”
Onywera who is an Arsenal fan said he was certain she only came back because of the money, “Ever since she left, several incidents have happened that would attract her attention. My mother died but she did not turn up for her burial. My father also died and I had an accident, but she did not bother to check on us,” he said
He did say that there was a lady who stuck with him through the trying times and he wanted to marry her. “I am a humble rice and tomato farmer. A certain woman who respected and loved me when all I had was farming will be the one to live with me in this permanent house,” he said.
God is great. Lemme see what the wife will do now… hehehe
Gossip mill has she heard d story?
#Jackpot! …might be reason enough for the woman to leave. Such money can still go bck into the jackpot easily. #Addiction
…..before someone can be won #63m it means such person has been using huge of money to play it,as a result of this,he may be poor,and d wife is justified…
God is good all the time wan Dar is life dar is hope no matter how old you are wan god said this is your time to be great no body can stop it hope we come from one place or another god is good I thanks god for the man life god time is the best
Haha OMG what would she do now ( I think she will be in coma for days lol )
Bad market for the woman
Good luck, badluck to selffish wife.
God is great
From the look of things, this man wasn’t poor initially, rather, he diverted all his money to that jack pot journey. The wife became furious and left. A poor man can’t make such amount from gambling if huge amount is not invested.
The woman go soon show, if she no waka, the man for no win de ba, na de simple logic be dat, lol
epl in june?!mmh?!nway….
He don hamah….
Does that justify her not coming around when he lost his parents? Or when he had an accident?

Why is it that, those who are abandoned by their wives easily win huge sum of money.
If she comes back, kick her out to the curb.

This is why we men should be more careful after making it through a tough winter. Most of this women are only ment for summer… my man use your money wisely
Women and money works together… Love is dead long before now

Did you even read the article?
But is Kenyan using naira as their currency? Just asking only no insult
Story dy o
Wat do u knw abt gamble?

Let us think this on this way… Maybe the man finished his money through gambling and the wife advised him to stop so that they will have food on the table…. If you were the wife… What would you do after you might tell him to stop because no money even to buy food for the kids.. Just saying
Better For Him. Now He Can Find His Real LOVE! U0001f602U0001f602U0001f602

Nwanne Anthony Moc its not a lie oooh
Dad pls don’t u accept her back, only those who would stay during labour are entitled to be invited during feast. I love this victory. Let her go to hell because if she comes back u will be poor again. She has poor spirit and the lady that stood by you has a spirit that would not entertain poverty. Good one pops, live and enjoy the rest of your days
Who said huge amount. It takes a little change to win big. The lecturer from Ambrose Ali university that won 58 million naira only played the game with 800 naira. Women no get shame at all, why would she come back when everything done better. Make God punish her well well
how much is 63 million in US $
So true! #Addiction could make him loose it all again.
And even during his father and mother’s death he couldn’t still turn our because of the gambling right??? Stupid thought of yours ! I pray you meet such women !
Because many women are impatient. I am not rich but this sort of matches my story. Was broke enough and she left when she got a marriage offer. But today wow I have seen more than I thought of, so long the man get dreams don’t give up on him. Yes so many men could be naughty but don’t ever make him see he was never good enough because of his financial power. Today I done chop money tire. Na my tithe dey talk the story
hahahahahahhahahahhaahhahahahahhaaa. LMAO
The man is a gamber he can use that #63m to pursue more and loss all.
The life na mystery and God sees our heart. Don’t hate don’t regret because someone dumped u. Just be positive and keep doing what u do. Someday God will remember u
Doesn’t justify her either.
A gambler that can win jackpot of N63m is an average survivor not a poor person so he must used all his hard earned money to play at all times that must be the reason the wife left him…
Bash Dfriendly Gee, absolutely!!! Especially the last comment. Keep your mind free from bitterness and trust God.
If I was the wife I will go back n file for divorce U0001f602
This is a 63years old man, he must have learnt his lesson and be wise, i read he said something like permanent house, so the man is wise. It pays to be patient and endure.
Na that woman be bad luck for his life since now she’s gone God don remember him.
You don’t need amount to win big but right permutation that looks silly in the eyes of man.Marraige is for better and for worse.Let her take a chill pill,why the man cruises.

Nonsense, gold digger like you, try that shiit with me and get your divorce pepars in your grave
I be wan like your comment, but to call such forgiveness I no like again. That will be foolishness, even if she was my mother I swear I go tell popsy to let her go, because she left us when we needed her more. Make e just help her life with like half a million, it is nothing. But coming back God forbid
I would advise the man to go and buy original Ak47 first and wait for his wife, bcos she will soon come knocking….
Divide $63million by #320
My dear it could be this same jackpot that made the woman to leave as it is a very big problem,don’t be surprise that this man might still go ahead and use the whole sum for this same jackpot,no one survives in this life style for a long time,to me the wife could be justified.
Then it means that the wife was the badluck and obstacles stopping the man from wining all this while
Don’t talk too much mr man, you ain’t making any valid, I don’t think you are even a man… Nonsense, so that makes her not come around when his mother died? That also made her not to come around when he got accident? So now she wanna come for the money? May thunder strike that her devilish eyes…
I would advise the man to go and buy original Ak47 first and wait for his wife, bcos she will soon come knocking….women money lovers
That woman ennnn…..even if na 1000 bishops come beg me to accept her back,I will neva….she shud go and rot in her father’s house
And she left the children with him to die of hunger right? And now she want to come and enjoy the money. The thunder that will fire you and that his so called wife is still doing press up, wait for it. Rubbish
