Cheza Sita is a fun game where you play numbers against the computer and pick up prizes if you match the numbers picked by the computer's BCLB approved random number generator.
You roll up to 6 dice, that is, you pick up to 6 numbers from 1 to 6. The computer will use its BCLB approved random number generator to roll the same number of dice as you (that is, it picks the same amount of numbers as you). For each dice roll you match the computer's roll, you win a prize. You win bigger prizes the more numbers you pick.
Example 1: You decide to roll 4 dice. You pick the numbers 4165. The computer's random number generator picks 4365. You match 3 numbers (4, 6 and 5) and win the prize for playing 4 numbers and matching 3 numbers.
Example 2: You decide to roll 6 dice. You pick the numbers 636521. The computer's random number generator picks 663521. You match 4 numbers (the first 6, 5, 2 and 1) and win the prize for playing 6 numbers and matching 4 numbers.
No! Cheza Sita is an instant play game, there are no scheduled draws. Once you place your bet with your chosen numbers, the computer will immediately play against you and send the result of your game by SMS. If you win, your winnings will be paid instantly into your Cheza Sita account, and sent to your MPESA account subject to daily MPESA transfer limits.
Playing is simple - just dial our *675# on your mobile phone to access our USSD menu. Choose option 1 - "Play Cheza Sita" and follow the instructions in the menu. When prompted, you will need to enter your MPESA pin number to pay for your ticket.
When you play for the first time, we will automatically create your Cheza Sita account for you.
Playing Cheza Sita is like rolling dice. You can roll up to 6 dice against the computer, getting paid a prize depending on the number of rolls you match against the computer. When instructed on the menu, you simply enter the numbers of each of your "rolls".
For example, if you want to roll 1 dice with the number 4, you just need to input 4 as your entry when prompted in the menu.
If you want to roll 6 dice with the numbers 3, 2, 2, 5, 1 and 3, you just need to input 322513 as your entry when prompted in the menu.
So you pick between 1 and 6 numbers from 1 to 6 as your entry. The computer will then use its random number generator to pick the same amount of numbers as you from 1 to 6, and you win prizes based on rolls you match.
You can bet any amount from KES 20 to KES 1,000 per entry. Prizes are paid as multipliers of your original bet, so the more you bet, the more you can win!
For example, when playing 6 numbers and matching all 6, the prize multiplier is 5,000x your bet. So if you bet KES 20, you would win KES 100,000. But if you bet the maximum of KES 1,000 and won, you'd win KES 5 million!
You pay for your ticket using your MPESA account. When you've chosen your bet amount, your numbers and completed the entry, you will be sent a prompt to enter your MPESA pin in order to pay for your ticket. Please note that this is an MPESA function and Cheza Sita has no access to your MPESA pin or MPESA account details - it's completely secure.
You win by matching your numbers to the computer's randomly generated numbers. When you play, you will receive an SMS with the result of your game.
You can play up to 6 numbers, and the prizes are higher the more numbers you play. Prizes are paid as a multiple of your bet amount. See the "What You Can Win" section on the How To Play page for details of the prizes.
Prizes are paid instantly on confirmation of the result of your game. When you pay for your ticket, the computer will instantly pick its numbers and play against you, with the result of your game being sent by SMS.
If you win a prize, it will be paid instantly into your Cheza Sita account and, subject to daily MPESA limits, will be transferred to your MPESA account automatically.
If you have any problems with receiving your prize, please contact our customer service team.
In certain prize tables, when playing a certain amount of numbers, some prizes may be paid into your bonus balance. There may be different conditions for winning, so please take note of any conditions in the "What You Can Win" section on the How To Play page.
If a prize is paid into your bonus balance, you can use it immediately. It works in the same way as your regular balance, in that you can buy tickets up to the total value of your bonus balance (as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum bet amount for a ticket). However, you can not withdraw your bonus balance, and it is not exchangeable for cash. Your bonus balance can only be used to play the game again; it does not expire.
You can use your bonus balance by playing via our USSD menu or by SMS. If you buy a ticket and have bonus balance that is equal to or more than your ticket prize, your bonus balance will automatically be used to pay for the ticket.
PLEASE NOTE: You can not use your bonus balance as partial payment for a ticket, your bet amount must be less than or equal to your total bonus balance available in order to use it.
At various times we may run promotions giving you a free play. A free play has a specific bet value, which will be communicated to you at the time of promotion.
To use a free play, simply play as normal and choose the free play's bet value as the amount you want to play. As long as your free play is valid, the computer system will recognise you have one and use that as payment for your ticket automatically. For example, if your receive a free play worth KES 50, simply choose 50 as your bet amount when purchasing your ticket.
PLEASE NOTE: Each free play can only be redeemed once and may be subject to an expiry date. Any unused free plays can not be redeemed after the expiry date has lapsed and you are not entitled to a replacement if you do not use it in time. Free plays are not exchangeable for cash.
