“At first it was poor tailor winning jackpot when am not even one. Then I was in France when I was in (a) neighbouring country for charity work. Then (buying a) KSh 33 million Benz yet I got a Premio. I travel the world for work. I had a life before the jackpot. Thanks dad for telling them what they wanted to listen to. We as a family will invest when we got the right thing to invest to, not because we want to make crowds happy. We don’t buy mandazi on the road because they look yummy. We buy they them because we need them. We won’t invest because of windfall money, we will invest with purpose. We will take our time as family. even if it is a year,” said Abisai.
