PowerBall winners

Since January, there have been two PowerBall jackpot winners who bagged over R100 million combined.

A Pretoria woman also won over R72 million through playing on the FNB app, with another winner banking over R32 million after buying tickets at a retail store.

Lotto jackpots

Two lucky people also became millionaires after winning Lotto jackpots in January.

A person who won R25 million said he is not going to tell anyone about his good fortune and will not be quitting his job. He said he will use the money to pay off his debt and buy property.

The other winner was a domestic worker in the Western Cape, who said she plans to buy herself a house.

“I was so excited when I found out that I won, I screamed and now that I have won I plan to buy a bigger house,” said the woman.
