However, when he switched his phone on, the message from local betting firm, SportPesa, was still staring at him and the figure was Sh22,842,642. That was when the reality dawned on the father of two that he had just joined the millionaires' club. I was not sure of anything and that is why I switched off my phone,” Kitur said adding: “I also want to thank my wife for always supporting me”.
