Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania:
SportPesa Tanzania has today announced its latest millionaire, Latifah Hamisi Mdoka, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Vikindu, Dar es Salaam, who has won TZS 268,671,530 through the SportPesa Mid-Week Jackpot.
Originally from Mchinga in Lindi Region, Latifah becomes the fifth major winner of 2026 and the third female customer to claim a life-changing prize from SportPesa this year, further demonstrating that big wins continue to be achieved by customers from all walks of life across Tanzania.
Latifah first registered with SportPesa in June 2019 and has remained an active customer for several years. She regularly participates in both the Mid-Week Jackpot and Supa Jackpot, making her latest win the result of consistent participation over time.

“This is a life-changing moment for me. I have always enjoyed participating in the jackpots and remained hopeful that one day my opportunity will come. I am grateful to SportPesa and excited about what this win means for my future,” she said.
Commenting on the milestone, Tracy Humplick, Head of Marketing, SportPesa Tanzania, noted that Latifah’s story reflects the growing number of Tanzanians whose lives have been positively impacted through the company’s products and promotions.
“Latifah’s win is another reminder that opportunity exists for everyone. What makes her story particularly inspiring is that she has been with SportPesa for seven years, actively participating and enjoying our products. We are delighted to celebrate this achievement with her and wish her every success as she plans her next chapter,” she said.
Speaking on the significance of the achievement, Hon. Tarimba Abbas, Chairman of the Board of Directors, SportPesa Tanzania, highlighted the company’s continued commitment to creating memorable customer success stories.
“This win adds to SportPesa Tanzania’s growing list of jackpot success stories. Since establishing operations in Tanzania, we have awarded more than 29 major jackpot winners, distributing a combined total of over TZS 8.8 billion in winnings. Latifah’s victory is particularly significant as she becomes our third female major winner this year, demonstrating that our winners come from all backgrounds, professions and regions across the country,” said Hon.
