Pambazuka National Lottery has announced 10 new lucky winners in its holiday promotion that closed on New Year.

The winners, drawn from across the country, each took home Sh1 million to usher in the New Year in style following the final draw done in Nairobi.

Some of the winners included Francis Yenku, a butcher from Narok, Robert Nyabiba, a water vendor, Bungoma-based farmer Bernard Wabomba and businessmen Aloice Ajwang (Kisumu), Simon Muya and Peter Mwangi (Thika) and Daniel Kipngetich (Nandi).

Pambazuka National Lottery Chief Executive Officer Paul Kinuthia affirmed the firm’s commitment to transforming the lives of Kenyans.

Mr Kinuthia said the winners will be taken through an investment course to enhance their entrepreneurship skills.

“We know this will enable the winners to use their winnings to contribute positively towards the Kenyan economy,” he added.
