With just a little effort in selecting his betting slip, this winner happily opened his2024 account with a 404 million win. But, how was this really possible? This is the answer; he didn’t go for goal-goal nor halftime/fulltime nor correct score among other very many betting options that ForteBet offers, but just full time home and away wins and that was all.

His odds ranged from 1.30 to 2.32 and generated a final odd of 80,840.31 and paying him UGX 404,201,550 that was immediately credited to his account once the last match ended. This win was on ticket number 3402534679189999.
