A city businessman has won a record UGX 397.9 Million on popular game Aviator through the betPawa platform.

The man named Eddy played with UGX 2,000 to win a total of UGX 397,976,060.

“I have been placing football bets but when I discovered Aviator, I realised there was a possibility of winning a lot of money within a very short time,” he said.

For his lucky attempt at the virtual airborne-based game, Eddy was on Friday, 9th February treated to a scenic tour of Jinja on a real life plane ride by betPawa to celebrate his win.

“When I played, I was in the company of my friends who were asking me repeatedly to cash out by stopping the plane but I stood my ground to the point where I froze in disbelief when I saw the amount by which my stake had multiplied,” recounted the lucky winner.

betPawa’s Country Marketing Manager Ivy Igunduura asserted the brand’s position as the Home of BIG Winners.

“We are excited that this is yet another BIG win for our customer on Aviator. We match the remarkable wins with instant payouts, making it more exciting and rewarding for the customers,” she said.

This record win comes two months after Aviator maker Spribe certified a betPawa customer from Ghana called Fuseini as the highest winner ever in Africa. Fuseini won UGX 1.89 Billion on the casino game.
