One of the most interesting, strangest and most startling bets in the world since the beginning of this year – a case from Uganda that happened four months ago. Then worried parishioners of Pastor David Ochieng were stunned to see the church door padlocked for several days.
This raises doubts about the priest’s fate and his emirs turn to the police. It turns out that Ochieng won 100 million Ugandan shillings. The news became public knowledge after the pastor contacted a local newspaper, aware of the concern he had caused with his absence.
“One day I received an offer on the phone to bet on certain matches. It seemed like a bargain and I decided to give it a shot with a large chunk of my savings. I bet 1 million shillings. There was no answer for a long time and I started writing to the people who tricked me. I wrote to them that they are scammers. A few weeks later they replied that I won 100 million and transferred the money to me. It turned out that the matches were fixed and because of that there was a delay in the payout. The check has shown that there is no violation on my part. I closed the church as it was my way of supporting myself until now. Now I have made more money than I ever dreamed of and there is no point in working,” David Ochieng admitted.
It should be noted that the amount actually won is not large. His bet of 1 million Ugandan shillings is equal to 250 euros, and the winning of 100 million is actually 25,000 euros.
