There is no scam here. It is perfectly legit and like any other business. No gun is being held to anyones head to participate. I know people who have won. The odds of winning are not good though. This is how these guys make their money. They say, announce they will give 1 million in prizes every month. 100,000 Kenyans send an SMS, costing 50 bob each, translating to 5 million in revenue. If a hundred people will share the 1 million in prize money, this represents around 0.1 percent 'success rate'. Thus you might never hear of a winner. Hata tukitoa an extra 2 million in 'expenses', thats a cool 2 million in profit. It is that easy. Profit is practically guaranteed. You should be thinking of starting your own lottery, instead of bashing the entrepreneurs who saw opportunity

the guy who won 50M last week is a co owner of multiple hauliers, the biggest trucking co in east and central africa. i wondered why such a dude would even partcipate...
