He went silent after being announced winner.
Gulf News, a news outlet in United Arabs Emirates, on Thursday reported that he has finally been located in Nairobi.
This is after several mails and follow-up emails went unanswered.
“Frantic calls to his number kept failing. Email and a reminder email finally caught the attention of the winner who had no clue until when he opened his mailbox, to find he had won a jackpot,” the Gulf News reported.
Mr Wachira said that he purchased the winning ticket online on May 22.
He said he is a regular participant in the lottery.
” Thank you Dubai Duty Free for this blessing. I am happy to win Sh100 million,” he is quoted by Gulf News as saying.
