Samuel Abisai, 28, won the jackpot after placing about $2 on two separate picks, betting firm SportPesa says.
Mr Abisai plans to give some of his winnings back to society, including supporting his local football team in the western region of Kakamega.
The payout is reportedly one of the biggest ever paid in Kenya.
The average salary of a civil servant in Kenya is about $150 per month.
Kenyans are the biggest gamblers in sub-Saharan Africa. Three-quarters of 17-to-35 year olds in Kenya admit to having placed a bet, according to a recent survey.
Gambling on phone apps is easy, so many Kenyans regularly make payments through their mobile phones.
The government is worried - and has just slapped a 50% tax on bookmakers, lottery companies and sports betting sites.
Mr Abisai is, however, not affected as the taxation comes into effect next year.
"I think I am not going to bet again," Mr Abisai told journalists in Nairobi.
The company's boss Ronald Karauri led a convoy, including a stretch limousine, to pick up Mr Abisai from his home in the small town of Thika 45km (27 miles) north-east of the capital, Nairobi.
It had to navigate a large pothole just outside his home.
The father of one daughter works for a Chinese company and speaks fluent Mandarin. He has not decided whether he will quit his job.
However, he did say that top on his list of priorities is buying a car and investing in real estate.
The betting industry is rapidly growing across Africa.

Eeyah.

Betting sites and companies are demonic and are major tools of the Antichrist to shackle humanity. They are directed related to the Illuminati, Freemason, KKK and whatever fucking satanic group there is out there.

I came to this conclusion after losing my hard earned N500 to bet9ja last month. How CAN Chelsea lose at home to ordinary Crystal Palace. Illuminati!

Please who will loan me fund to bet? Once I win, the money will be shared equally. It's what we call partnership.

BTW, why do many of we youths derive joy in using short-cut to enjoy the luxury of life, and we constantly yawn to be given the rudder of the country's canoe to paddle. If this is how our past generations act without thier back bent under the shining sun smiling down the dark skin which beautifies the continent of African, bringing about the beauty and freedom we enjoy today, our continent would have been shared by those whom the far away sea sent to us with thier face as white as just harvested peeled cassava with the mindset of trampling us, breaking us, enslaving us forever.

We youths, lets think out of the box, we should never let the till of the soil of our fore fathers sip away.

Guy what's bad in placing a bet, do u know of several people that have toiled day and night to make ends meet and nothing is forthcoming? Let's be realistic here, Nigeria is not a country that gives u hope for the future, instead u have to look for other avenues to make legitimate money yourself. I see nothing wrong in placing a bet especially when d bettor isn't cheating anyone.

My brother, how often do you win against losing? going along the history lane, how many great men build thier empire based on staking thier fund? do you realised the margin of prosperity between those who start a company of it and ones placing the bet? my brother envision yourself playing the bet for the next 10years staking your fund and putting every fund of yours in enlarging the coast of business or building some parts of your life positively? there will always be difference. what is drawing back we youths is we want to get rich quickly without paying price.
