A Professor of Computer Engineering at
the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Godwin Ighalo, has won
the sum of N58,945,553, after placing bets with N800 in 1960Bet.
It is the biggest sum ever won in the
history of sports betting in Nigeria. The sexagenarian accomplished the
feat after placing bets on two different bet slips of N500 and N300.
On the N500 ticket, Prof Ighalo won
N36,840,971.25 while the N300 slip won him N22,104,582.75. Ighalo, who
was accompanied by two of his relatives, on Wednesday, received his
cheque at the head office of the country’s top sports betting company in
Lagos.

On
how he was able to achieve the feat, Ighalo said, “Since my childhood
days, I used to have strong interests in probability, relationships and
special intelligence. All these with adequate sports betting research I
conducted over the years, helped in making it possible.”
He hailed 1960BET for their honesty and
commitment to their customers, adding he was sure he would be paid his
money in full by the sports betting company, despite doubts in some
quarters that they won’t be able to pay.
He said, “I was sure the company would
pay if I win. I have tried in the past without winning and always
believe that one day luck will shine on me.
“There were a lot of people out there
who expressed doubts on whether they will be able to pay the money, but
1960Bet has demonstrated that they are a reliable sports betting company
with this prompt payment. Immediately I arrived at their office, they
called me in and the money was paid into my account.”
The Managing Director of 1960BET, Mr
Dotun Ajegbile, said the company, with the prompt payment of the money,
has enhanced its position as the most consistent sports betting firm in
Nigeria.
“Now it is clear that 1960BET is the
most consistent, having paid more winnings in the history of sports
betting in Nigeria; we have been paying since 2010. We have made it top
priority in the new season to honour all transactions online and retail
while guaranteeing the best odds at all times and undiluted gaming
excitement in all our shops.”
