Speaking moments after his historic win, Wilhelm Nghishekwa of Walvis Bay said he was delighted with his win and plans to invest the prize money into expanding his business. Expressing his gratitude, he added: "JSB Betting is the only betting that gives back to the people."
Inside the Nine-Month Millionaire Mania Campaign
Millionaire Mania was open to every JSB customer nationwide. The entry mechanics were straightforward and accessible to all players:
- Players entered by placing a single sportsbook bet of N$25 or more to qualify for monthly draws.
- Monthly winners received Silver Tickets, which granted entry into live draws for Golden Tickets.
- Golden Tickets served as the exclusive path into the final million-dollar draw.
- Ticket holders were required to place a minimum N$25 bet each month to keep their qualification active.
- Every draw was conducted through an independently supervised random process.
Every Golden Ticket finalist had to attend the event in person in Windhoek to remain eligible. While only one contestant walked away with the grand N$1 million prize, each of the 24 finalists received a special reward on the day.
“In 2025 we launched Millionaire Mania with a simple goal: to create Namibia's next millionaire. Thousands of players placed their bets, climbed through the ranks, and held onto their tickets for this very moment. Thank you for choosing JSB as your number one betting destination, and for being part of the JSB family.”
