How the Midweek Jackpot works
Every week SportPesa sets 13 midweek matches. You predict 1, X or 2 for each, at KSh 99 a line. All 13 right wins the jackpot; 10, 11 or 12 right wins a bonus. The jackpot grows every week it isn't won and resets once it is, and everything is shared equally between the winners of each tier.
Because there are only 13 games, the Midweek Jackpot is hit far more often than the 17-game Mega Jackpot. Reports from December 2025 described that month's winner as the seventh of the year, and in October 2024 a single round produced 23 winners, who shared the pot. When many people get it right, each share is smaller, which is the price of a more reachable game.
Your real chances
Jackpot games are chosen to be close, so even good picks miss often. The table works out your chances exactly for different levels of skill. Read across the 50% row: that's someone whose every pick is a coin flip between the two likeliest results, which is already better than most players.
| Your picks are right… | All 13 right | 10+ right (any prize) |
|---|---|---|
| A blind guess (33%) | 1 in 1,594,323 | 0.16% (1 in 607) |
| 40% per pick | 1 in 149,012 | 0.78% (1 in 128) |
| 50% per pick | 1 in 8,192 | 4.61% (1 in 22) |
| 55% per pick | 1 in 2,373 | 9.29% (1 in 11) |
| 60% per pick (very strong) | 1 in 766 | 16.9% (1 in 5.9) |
The chance of each prize tier
The chance of finishing on exactly each number of correct picks. Most of the realistic money is in the lower tiers, which is why the bonuses matter more than the headline prize.
| Correct | At 50% per pick | At 60% per pick |
|---|---|---|
| 13 of 13 (jackpot) | 0.012% | 0.13% |
| 12 of 13 | 0.16% | 1.13% |
| 11 of 13 | 0.95% | 4.53% |
| 10 of 13 | 3.49% | 11.1% |
What doubles and triples cost
Every double doubles the number of lines and every triple triples it. Here is what each ticket costs at KSh 99 a line, and how much it improves your chance.
| Ticket | Lines | Cost | Chance of all 13 right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singles only | 1 | KSh 99 | 1 in 8,192 |
| 1 double | 2 | KSh 198 | 1 in 5,120 |
| 2 doubles | 4 | KSh 396 | 1 in 3,200 |
| 3 doubles | 8 | KSh 792 | 1 in 2,000 |
| 5 doubles | 32 | KSh 3,168 | 1 in 781 |
| 7 doubles | 128 | KSh 12,672 | 1 in 305 |
| 10 doubles | 1,024 | KSh 101,376 | 1 in 75 |
| 1 triple | 3 | KSh 297 | 1 in 4,096 |
| 3 triples | 27 | KSh 2,673 | 1 in 1,024 |
| 2 doubles + 1 triple | 12 | KSh 1,188 | 1 in 1,600 |
| 3 doubles + 2 triples | 72 | KSh 7,128 | 1 in 500 |
Chances in this table assume each single is right 50% of the time and each double 80%. Work out your own ticket with the jackpot calculator.
How to approach the Midweek Jackpot
Four games make all the difference. Dropping from 17 games to 13 takes the chance of a perfect card at 50% per pick from 1 in 131,072 to 1 in 8,192, sixteen times better. That's why this is the jackpot where careful picks pay off most often.
Midweek cards are different. Midweek fixtures include cup ties and European nights, where favourites rotate players. Check team news and give the draw more respect in games where a favourite has something bigger at the weekend.
Use doubles on the coin-flips. Two well-placed doubles on 13 games quadruple the cost (KSh 396) but often do more for your chance than anything else. Look each match up on our predictions to find the closest ones.
Expect to share. On an easy-looking card, many people land 13/13 and the pot is divided. Contrarian picks (a draw where most people back the favourite) win you a bigger share when they come in.
