A 24-year-old gamer from Kwekwe, Takawira, celebrated a significant windfall on Wednesday afternoon when he received his US$10,000 cheque from Spin City offices in Bulawayo. The lucky gamer shared that he had only bet $4.50 while playing the popular Dala Dala game on the platform. To his surprise, he won the staggering amount and initially cashed out $200 to verify if his win was legitimate. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” he said, reflecting on the life-changing moment.
In an interview with Zimcelebs, Takawira emphasized the importance of responsible gaming, noting that he does not allow gambling to become an addiction.
He highlighted that many people lose money due to financial mismanagement, but he has been careful to avoid such pitfalls. “I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from others’ mistakes,” he said, adding that he has made a conscious decision to stay focused and avoid distractions, particularly regarding relationships.
Takawira also revealed that his recent win came at a crucial time, as he has been working on a business venture for some time. He sees the windfall as a perfect opportunity to invest in his business and grow his financial standing. “This win gives me a real chance to invest in something I’m passionate about,” he explained.
When asked about his future gaming plans, Takawira said he would continue playing on Spin City due to the platform’s convenience in deposits. He acknowledged that while the win was unexpected, he still believes in maintaining a balanced approach to gaming, treating it as entertainment rather than a source of income. “I play responsibly and make sure it doesn’t take over my life,” he said
