Chelsea’s first win in nine matches across all competitions on Saturday rewarded five Zambian punters whose betting tickets were successful enough to cash out thousands of Kwachas from Zambia’s BolaBet.
Frank Lampard marked his 100th Premier League game as manager by picking up his first points since rejoining Chelsea with two late goals in a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth.
The Blues looked like they would have to settle for a draw to ruin the tickets of many punters worldwide, as has been the case after Cherries defender Matias Vina canceled out Conor Gallagher’s early header.
But goals from Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix in the final eight minutes at Vitality Stadium gave the west London club their first victory in nearly two months, halting a six-game losing streak under interim manager Lampard.

Meanwhile, Just like the former England midfielder told his players to celebrate their win with a glass of wine, five Zambian punters walked out of the BolaBet buildings in Lusaka with big smiles and thousands of Kwacha notes as the match which kept them on the edges of their seats ended in favour of their ticket.
BolaNews has been informed that the five punters won a total of half a million kwacha on the BolaBet platform with just K5 stakes each.
The first winner cashed out K62,5538.12, the second won K65, 538.12 while the biggest winners banked a sum of K118,506.80, K138,501.70, and K367, 632.71 respectively.
Bolabet Zambia unveiled the information to this publication on Monday morning.
Last a 34-year-old Lusaka man also won a whopping two million and five hundred thousand Kwacha (K2,500,000) from Bolabet’s Aviator game.
He became the Betting company’s winner of the year in Zambia.
