UK based Zimbabwean clothing brand entrepreneur, Mungwaru Nyakupinda, is smiling all the way to the bank after winning £167,728.20 in the UK National Lottery.
Nyakupinda, who decided to buy a lottery ticket after he was given £3 change while shopping in his local Sainbury’s supermarket, has joked that he is now richer than South African social media sensation, Skomota, who also won the lottery in his country.
Posting on Facebook, Nyakupinda detailed how, by a stroke of luck, he had won the cash prize.
“First and foremost I would like to thank Karma..Tuesday 9 July I went into Sainsbury’s to buy some stuff, so there was £3 change and I asked for a lottery ticket.. I play online so I forgot this ticket..”
He continued: “Yesterday I was in Sainsbury’s so I saw the ticket in my wallet so I asked the shop assistant to check it.. I heard the sound a winning ticket makes but the slip said “Return ticket to owner and owner needs to call the national lottery.
“So I said I’m not gonna sit down and check this ticket I will check it when I’m at home while I’m well relaxed.. I won £167,728.20 (one hundred and 67 thousand seven hundred and twenty eight and 20 pence).”
After being trolled that he did not own a car, Nyakupinda joked that he was now richer than Skomota.
“Kana Paine anoziva Kerina Mujati akambondituka kuti Mungwaru haana mota, Well I have more money than Skomota..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Will be laughing all the way to the bank…”
Something tells me that knee grow is gonna blow that cash
But Skomota is mental unwell, how can you compare yourself with him 🙄
Skomota never won any lottery
