A Kenyan punter has won more than $2m (£1.6m) after correctly predicting the outcome of 17 football matches.
Samuel Abisai placed about $2 on two separate jackpot picks, betting firm SportsPesa says.
The company’s boss Ronald Karauri led a convoy, including a stretch limousine, to pick up Mr Abisai from his home in the small town of Thika 45km (27 miles) north-east of the capital, Nairobi.
The payout is reportedly one of the biggest ever paid in Africa.
The betting industry is rapidly growing across the African continent.
