Homeless teenager finds £2,750 prize
A homeless Kenyan teenager found a £2,750 treasure hunt prize while urinating in a Nairobi park.
Evans Kamande, 17, found a small gold-coloured box, with a piece of paper inside, between the forks of a cactus.
Evans, who cannot read very well, had no idea what he had found - until a passing student read it for him.
The document, the student explained, declared the bearer to be the winner of the top prize in a local radio station's treasure hunt.
KISS 100FM official Amar Vipyarthi said: "When he brought the voucher, we believed him. He was excited and shocked.
"We will definitely give him his prize and it's up to him to choose how best to spend the money."
Kamande's first thoughts were for his mother, who works as a housemaid in Nairobi.
"I want my mother to have a good life, buy a piece of land and build rental houses," he told the Standard newspaper.
