A 27-year-old factory loader has had his life turned upside down in the most delightful way. Zeverio Namisi, a hardworking individual known for his tireless shifts at the local factory, can now add “jackpot winner” to his list of accomplishments.
Zeverio’s journey to riches began with a modest UGX 9,000 wager at a Kenkom shop. With that single ticket, he secured a whopping UGX 186 million, making him the second lucky winner of the historic UGX 1 Billion LOTTO Jackpot.
As the latest sensation in town, Zeverio’s success story has quickly spread beyond Kawempe. Social media platforms buzz with well-wishes and jokes about wanting to find out where he stays.
This latest jackpot win is a personal victory for Zeverio and a beacon of hope for many Ugandans participating in the national lottery. It’s a reminder that fortune can indeed favour the brave—or, in this case, the factory loader who decided to try his luck.
So, as the Kawempe district continues to celebrate one of its own, the rest of Uganda watches on, hoping that it, too, might one day find itself in the winner’s circle. Here’s to more stories like Zeverio’s, where luck and hope can change lives overnight.
