Salifu Zico Bah, a Bakau native, has won 2 million dalasis ($33,000) on BWINNERS, an online sport betting company in The Gambia. 

Zico Bah won after playing thirty-five teams for 25 dalasis on the site. 

“This will go a long way in helping me achieve my dreams. I am a borehole driller by profession and I came from an extended family. I have a bigger plan and aspirations and with this amount, most of my problems will be solved,” he is quoted by PYTV.

Meanwhile, the betting company’s CEO, Hussien Napier said people are winning huge amounts of money from betting.

He said: “D1.2 million was won by a young man who has later on travelled to Europe. So we are changing lives and we believe this D2 million will also change the life of this young man who won it.”
