Taking to her Instagram page on Sunday night, she lamented losing a staggering ₦5 million on a single wager placed during the high-stakes FIFA World Cup 2026™ final between Spain and Argentina.
Etiko, openly admitted that this was her very first time participating in sports betting, expressed complete shock at the emotional and financial toll of the game.
