Frequently asked

Last updated: 22 October 2026

The questions players ask most, answered plainly. If yours is not here, email us and a real person will reply.

Do I need an account?

No. Pay with M-Pesa without signing up. After confirmation, your receipt lists all ticket numbers and can be saved as PDF or images. My tickets keeps purchases on this browser; your order reference and private access code can recover a receipt on another device.

Does 10 bob guarantee 1,000 bob?

No. KSh 10 buys one entry for a chance to win KSh 1,000. There is one winner per cash tier. Each ticket has a 1 in N chance, where N is the final paid entry count for that tier. With 100 entries, one ticket has a 1% chance; final odds depend on how many tickets are purchased.

How do I play?

Tap a prize, choose how many tickets, type the Safaricom number you want to pay from, then tap "Pay with M-Pesa". A prompt appears on your phone — enter your M-Pesa PIN to confirm. If the payment goes through, your tickets are in the draw.

How much does it cost?

Cash tickets start at KSh 10, with cash prizes from KSh 1,000 to KSh 12,000 per winner. Gift tickets start at KSh 20. The Crown Jackpot and the Smart TV are KSh 20 a ticket, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is KSh 40 and the iPhone 17 Pro is KSh 50. The price shown on the button is the full price for your order.

How many people win?

Exactly 1 winner per prize, every draw. Buying more tickets gives you more entries, so your chances rise with each ticket — but no number of tickets guarantees a win.

What is the Crown jackpot?

A cash jackpot that gets bigger with every ticket anyone buys, on any prize. One winner receives it when the draw closes. The number you see at the top of the page is what is up for grabs.

When is the draw?

The countdown on each prize shows time left for the current round. When it hits zero, that raffle closes.

How are winners picked?

Every paid ticket for a raffle goes into one pool and the 1 winner is drawn from it at random. Every ticket has the same chance. We notify winners by SMS and call on the number they paid with, within 24 hours.

What happens if I win?

We call and SMS you. Confirm your delivery details within 48 hours and we arrange delivery anywhere in Kenya within 21 working days — delivery inside Kenya is free. Cash and Crown winners are paid to an M-Pesa number in their own name.

My payment failed. Am I still in?

No — tickets are only issued once the payment is confirmed. If the prompt expired, you cancelled it, or you did not enter your PIN in time, nothing was charged. Just try again.

Money left my phone but I got no tickets.

Email hello@taji.co.ke with the number you paid from and roughly when you paid. We check the record with Paystack and either add your tickets or start an M-Pesa reversal within 24 hours. Do not pay again before writing to us, or you may be charged twice.

Can I get my money back?

Ticket money is not refundable once your ticket is confirmed, because the draw is already running. If we cancel a raffle, void your entry, or cannot supply a prize, we refund you in full to the M-Pesa number you paid from.

Who can play?

Anyone aged 18 or over who is in Kenya and pays from a Safaricom number they own. No bots, no borrowed numbers, no reselling tickets.

Is my M-Pesa safe?

Yes. The payment is an STK push processed by Paystack — RafikiRaffles never asks for your M-Pesa PIN and never sees your balance. We will never call you asking for a PIN or an OTP.
