While in Bungoma recently, I saw a targeted ad on Instagram pointing to an article with a link in its body—plinko. Skeptical at first, I clicked and tried my luck on the virtual board. The straightforward rules and rapid resolution appealed to me. A few rounds of small wins and losses later, I hit a payout that more than covered my transport back to Kakamega. That quick turnaround transformed a sluggish afternoon into an energizing experience, and I replay it whenever I need a boost.
