Innocent Wins MZN 5.3 Million Playing Pawa6
A Perfect AFCON Pawa6 Round
Innocent took part in the AFCON Edition of Pawa6, where the prize pool was doubled and the jackpot prize was increased three times. In Round 16 of the 2025/2026 season, he correctly predicted the full-time scores of all six selected AFCON matches to score the maximum 30 points.
The winning predictions were:
DRC vs Benin 1:0
Senegal vs Botswana 3:0
Nigeria vs Tanzania 2:1
Tunisia vs Uganda 3:1
Côte d’Ivoire vs Mozambique 1:0
Cameroon vs Gabon 1:0
By finishing top of the leaderboard, Innocent secured the MZN 5.3 Million Pawa6 Jackpot.
What Changed This Time
Innocent is a regular Pawa6 player and says he adjusted his approach after scoring lower points in previous rounds.
“I used to score 17 or 19 points, but it was not enough to win big,” he explained. “This time, I looked more closely at match statistics, previous meetings, odds changes, and player injuries.”
He followed the matches closely and went to bed after the Côte d’Ivoire game with 25 points already secured.
Realising He Had Won
The following day, Innocent received a call from a betPawa agent confirming the news.
“At first I was not sure. I checked the leaderboard and saw my phone number at the top. When the balance reflected in my account, I knew it was real,” he said.
Sharing the News
The first people Innocent told were his parents and siblings.
“They could not believe it. It was a big surprise for everyone,” he said.
Plans Going Forward
Innocent says he has already withdrawn part of his winnings and has clear plans.
“I plan to buy land, build a house, and set up a small business. I will also take care of my personal needs,” he shared.
A Message to Other Pawa6 Players
Innocent encourages others to keep trying Pawa6.
“I never gave up. Pawa6 is free to play, so I kept trying and finally I hit the jackpot,” he said.
Note: Pawa6 Jackpot amounts differ slightly from country to country; this is the story of someone who won it in Uganda.
