In the finale week, ten winners will each take home ₦3 million.

Entering is simple. Place a bet of at least ₦1 on Sports, Casino, or Virtuals during the week. One qualifying bet is all it takes, and only one entry counts per person per week. Winners are picked randomly from every qualifying entry and announced live during Sunday's eviction show on BBNaija.

Meet Wilson, One of the First Winners

Wilson from Lagos, who sells lotto in his spare time, won ₦3 million in the first draw. He values the security of his community and lives by a lesson passed down from one of his teachers.

"A moving man will always meet his luck. It's why I am always hustling, and how I met my luck with the jackpot win."

Wilson mostly plays sportsbook on betPawa. The odds and the maximum payout are why he plays. He had not heard about the BBNaija Fan Weekly Jackpot until the call came through.

"I did not even know there was a jackpot going on until I got the call that I had won. I just wanted to play my normal sports bet."

The Moment Wilson Realised He Had Won

The call came in unexpectedly, while Wilson was caught out in the rain and far from home.

"I was under the rain when I got the call. I was drenched."

He had never won a jackpot in his life.

"I couldn't believe it. I was so happy. I still can't believe it."

The first person he told was a co-worker, who was shocked, asked how he did it, and then opened a betPawa account of his own.

Wilson's Plans After the Win

Wilson has moved most of his winnings into a savings account and plans to spend carefully.. He's already thinking about what it means for the people closest to him.

Wilson's Message to Other Players

He passes on the same advice his teacher once shared with him.

"A moving man will always meet his luck."

Meet Samuel, Another of the First Winners

"It still feels unreal."

Samuel from Abuja, a human resources professional and AI automation consultant, won ₦3 million in the first draw. His neighbourhood is calm and quiet, which suits him well.

The advice that has stayed with Samuel came from his father.

"Easy does it. Little steps win the race. Don't rush yourself into trying to accumulate fast wealth."

On betPawa, Samuel appreciates how easy the site is to use and the low minimum stake.

"It's very easy to access, and the minimum stake is low. It's very seamless to operate."

The Moment Samuel Realised He Had Won

Samuel almost didn't believe the news when he first heard it.

"It still feels unreal. Honestly, I really thought it was a scam call."

Once confirmed, his mother would be the first person he'd share it with.

"I can't wait to see my mum's reaction when I tell her."

Samuel's Plans After the Win

Samuel plans to put the money towards his work setup, starting with an upgrade to his home office and a second screen for his desk. He expects the win to make a real difference at home too.

"It will go a long way for myself and my parents."

Samuel's Message to Other Players

Samuel's take is simple:

"Sometimes you just never know when it will be your time."
