During the draw, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers supporter Thomas Msiska, who is based in Blantyre’s Ndirande Township, emerged the sixth winner of the K2 million monthly prize.
He correctly predicted a match between defending champions FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Chitipa United which the former won 2-0.
The 36-year-old Msiska said he was grateful to TNM for giving fans the opportunity to win prizes through predicting match results.
“I am very grateful to TNM for this great opportunity. The money I have won will help me overcome financial challenges stemming from devaluation of the Kwacha,” he said.
