Jackpot winner Samuel Abisai has revealed that he changed his phone number after winning Sh221 million jackpot back in 2017.

In an interview on the POV Podcast, he shared that the overwhelming number of calls prompted the change. "I changed my number after I won the Sh221 million jackpot. The calls were just too many."

Regarding what he did with the money, Abisai explained, "I initially had a five-year plan, so the money only helped accelerate my ideas and move the plan to the next step. I stuck to the goals I had set the previous year."

Abisai also mentioned that he had no doubts about his win since he had won money before. "Before I won the Sh221 million, I had won Sh30k. I tried withdrawing Sh100k to see if it was legit, and when the money appeared in my account, I knew it was real."

Contrary to popular belief, Abisai stressed that Sh221 million was not an enormous sum. "I realized Sh221 million is not a lot of money. People say my win was just luck, but it was my money. I’ve never faked my lifestyle or lived beyond my means."

Before his win, Abisai owned a clothing design company, which he still runs today. He also owns a paint company.
