A fortunate individual has celebrated the arrival of spring with a life-changing win of R41 million in the latest Ithuba Lotto jackpot draw. The winner plans to purchase his dream house and car with his newfound wealth.

“I’m planning to buy my dream house and car—things that would have taken me a lifetime to achieve. I can finally afford them, and that brings me peace of mind,” he shared.

Ithuba, the operator of the National Lottery, announced that the winner claimed his prize from last draw. He purchased his ticket through the Capitec banking app, placing a R30 wager using a manual selection method.

An avid player of National Lottery games, the winner plays up to four times a week. “I mix it up with different numbers, selecting them randomly,” he explained, his previous largest win was R303 in other divisions.

“This is a life-changing moment,” he stated, recalling the emotional experience of discovering his jackpot win online. “I cried tears of joy; I have always dreamed of winning.”

As of now, he has kept the news to himself, envisioning a brighter future ahead. He hinted at a desire to explore charity work once his financial priorities are settled. “After securing my future, I’ll definitely consider giving back,” he said.

Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza extended her congratulations to the winner, stating, “We’re always thrilled to see dreams come true. We hope he enjoys the comfort of his new life and all the opportunities his multimillion status brings.”

In addition to his winnings, the winner will receive free counseling and financial advice from Ithuba.
