The ₦15 Million BBNaija Fan Weekly Jackpot: Joshua’s Story

We caught up with Joshua in Abuja, one of 5 fans to find ₦3 million in their balance on August 23.

The twist? He's not actually a BBNaija fan. He hadn't even seen the Jackpot banner. He simply qualified through the Sports bets he placed.

Meet Joshua, 1 of 5 Jackpot Winners

"My community is where I have my friends. It feels good living around my own people."

It's his own people from whom Joshua draws his wisdom.

"My friend advised me never to give up. And it's one of my driving forces in life."

He's a sports fan, who enjoys such betPawa features as 1UP, 2UP and Cashout. The BBNaija Fan Weekly Jackpot was practically invisible to him.

"I saw the banner on the app but I didn't really pay attention. I just kept playing my games, mainly sportsbook."

That is exactly how the Jackpot is designed to work. A qualifying Sports, Casino or Virtuals bet automatically enters you into the draw. No need to opt in.

Waking Up to ₦3 Million

Joshua had other plans during Sunday night's eviction.

"I was sleeping actually. I just opened my app and saw my win."

His new betPawa balance took a moment to process.

"I felt so surprised and confused. I didn't expect it even in my wildest dreams. I was so, so shocked."

Two of Joshua's friends were with him when he saw the winnings in his wallet.

"They started celebrating with me."

His reaction gave the game away before any explanation was required.

Joshua’s Plans for the Prize Money

"My plan is to open a shop to sell provisions and household items."

Straightforward and tangible. He believes it will make a big difference to his family and community too.

Another ₦15 Million Is Up for Grabs This Sunday.

Qualifying is simple. Place at least one ₦1 bet on Sports, Casino or Virtuals during the week and you automatically receive one entry into the BBNaija Fan Weekly Jackpot draw. That's all.

Every Sunday, 5 players are drawn to receive ₦3 million each.

During the finale week, the draw gets even BIGGER, expanding to 10 winners, each winning ₦3 million.

Qualifying windows run until 10:00am that Sunday, with winners announced during BBNaija's eviction show.
