Nasarawa Farmer Wins ₦50m BetKing Jackpot from a ₦100 Stake
A 15-year journey of hard work and survival took a remarkable turn for James Ada Omaku, a farmer and student from Nasarawa State, who has emerged as the first-ever winner of the BetKing Monthly Virtuals Jackpot, claiming a transformative ₦50 million from a single ₦100 bet.
James, who farms maize, cassava, rice and guinea corn while also pursuing his education, recalled years of doing whatever it took to support his family—including selling popcorn and groundnuts in traffic.
“All my life, I’ve just wanted to make my family proud,” he said, fighting back emotion.
That dream became reality when a routine ₦100 virtual bet brought him the life-changing win.
“When BetKing called me, I was shaking. I couldn’t speak. I thought it was a dream,” he recounted during his celebration at the company’s Lagos headquarters.
With his new fortune, James plans to build a home for his family, sponsor his siblings through school and expand his farming business.
“I just want everything to move well for us,” he added, smiling.
James described BetKing as transparent and reliable.
“BetKing works very well. When you win, your alert drops immediately—no delay, no story. That’s why I trust them,” he said.
Head of Marketing at BetKing, Nengi Akinola, praised James’s resilience, saying his story reflects the brand’s mission to uplift everyday Nigerians.
“James’s journey mirrors the determination that defines many people across the country,” she said. “At BetKing, we don’t just celebrate wins, we celebrate the people behind the wins. His ₦50 million jackpot is a reminder that hope, combined with hard work, can lead to remarkable transformation.”
Akinola also highlighted BetKing’s growing Corporate Social Responsibility impact.
“Through our CSR initiatives, we have reached over 3 million individuals across 35 communities in all six geopolitical zones. Our focus remains on empowering customers through charity programs, youth development, educational support and community growth,” she stated.
As BetKing expands its virtual gaming offerings and community-focused initiatives, the company says stories like James’s reaffirm its commitment to creating opportunities and inspiring belief in possibilities—proof that sometimes, one small bet can change a life forever.
