Another Lotto player using banking app joins the millionaires’ club

Another banking app player has won the Lotto Plus 2 jackpot of almost R16 million from the Wednesday draw.

A total of R114 million in jackpots was up for grabs on the night, with the Lotto Plus 2 estimated at R16 million.

Unfortunately, no one cracked the Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 numbers.

According to Ithuba, the Wednesday winner purchased their ticket using the FNB bank app. They are yet to claim their winnings.

The winner joins an Arts teacher, another banking app player who won just over R43 million from the PowerBall draw on Friday, 11 October.

The winner purchased her ticket via the Absa banking platform and played for 10 future draws. She won the jackpot on the third draw of her ticket.

“I was on my way from work when the bank called me on Monday to check my PowerBall ticket and get in touch with Ithuba because I have won some money. When I got home, I checked my ticket against the winning numbers,” she told Ithuba.

“When I realised that I had won the jackpot, I felt like I was in a dream for a while, it’s an amazing feeling! I instantly called my husband to share the news.”

She plans to treat her family to a tropical island getaway, but her first purchase will be a grand piano.

“The first thing I’m going to buy is a grand piano, then I’ll take my family on vacation to a beautiful tropical island. I will continue working because I really love my job. However, many of our family’s long-term goals will now happen sooner, and I’m grateful for that.”
