An unemployed lotto player has become a multi-millionaire after winning the R19,435,068.10 Lotto Plus 2 jackpot from the draw. This incredible win came from a R30 wager placed on a banking app using the Quick Pick selection method.
The winner, who prefers to remain anonymous, expressed both disbelief and excitement upon learning of his life-changing victory. “I have always believed I would win one day, and now it has finally happened,” he said. Despite his confidence, he was shocked when he received the news from his bank and confirmed it via the National Lottery app.
Excited to share the news with his wife, the winner is eager to make a positive impact on his life and those around him. He plans to invest a portion of his winnings to improve the lives of his family, friends, and community. “I also plan on helping a former colleague who holds a special place in my heart,” he added.
In addition to personal investments, he intends to donate to charitable organizations, demonstrating his commitment to giving back. He looks forward to creating a sustainable source of income that will allow him to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as leisurely walks by the beach.
Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of Ithuba, praised the winner’s intentions, stating, “It’s inspiring to see a winner who is committed to transforming not only his own life but also the lives of those around him. When managed wisely, a multi-million rand jackpot win can rewrite the future for many people.”
