KAMPALA, UGANDA – In an extraordinary turn of events, two fortunate individuals have emerged as winners of the coveted Uganda National Lottery jackpot, taking home a staggering share of UGX 1 billion. Samuel Mbonimpa, a skilled mason from Kyazanga, and Zeverio Namisi, a dedicated factory worker from Kawempe, have matched four of the six winning numbers in the highly anticipated LOTTO draw 17, securing their places among the top winners.
Mbonimpa, who played using the convenient USSD code *278#, will receive a substantial share of the Division 5 prize of UGX 932,340,000. This windfall is set to transform his life and provide unparalleled financial security.
