There was a lady from the lakeside (Homabay) who won % million last week. I should have been happy for her but instead I just felt a bit sad for her because I know just how badly that money will complicate her life. She collected the cheque with no less than 4 brother -in-laws in tow!!!!! Can you imagine the expectations on this poor woman from her family, friends, church, community

Then she said that she would use part of the money to expand her sugarcane business at which point I almost weeped for her. She sells sugarcane to fishermen by the lakeside.

I really would love to track this woman down after five years to see the effects the money has had on her life.

That's a sign that they are making big money on it. Kenyans and their gullibility. Any promise to make quick cash, and Pap! there they are in hoards.

apparently, this a very lucrative business,

You remember the other competition worth 90 million to be won and a Range Rover,

The company made 1.3 Billion from that competition only,

An sms was being charged at 65 bob.

Secondly, if you read the terms and conditions well, you will see that there is a clause that says that the firm is not obliged to keep its word if the revenue doesnt reach the target.


Me thinks the tricks is not to try or if you have to try be among the first people to send the sms.

This is the current SMS cash cow. I think user fatigue might eventually set in

That's the word around tech circles, but remains to be verified
