"I was able to pay the dowry for my wife. Apart from that, I recently built a new toilet and bathroom on my compound," he said.

As expected, most of those who commented on the video opined that he should have spent it differently, the first being to upgrade his mobile phone.

People reacted

Others expressed their own priorities and what they would do with the money if they ever got lucky.

@frachidibwoy:

"If I won the jackpot, would I be allowed to apply for a firearm license? This amount is huge, even a simple KSh 5 million."

@VincentGithaiga:

"Let him replace his handset first."

@kelvinmbugua67:

"Paying dowry is more important to him."

Man won N4.1bn twice

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a man in America, Juan Hernandez in Uniondale, surprisingly won a $10 million (N4,148,700,000) lottery prize money in the New York game.

What came as a big surprise to many people is that this will not be the first time he will be winning the same amount of money. In 2019, he won $10 million (N4,148,700,000).

Speaking with the media, Hernandez revealed that he is still trying to spend the wealth he won years ago. It should be noted that the man won money in 2019 when he got one of the jackpots in a $350 million Cash Spectacular game.
