How to spend R68 million?
SA Lottery posed this question on Friday, and South Africans had no shortage of ideas. A large number of netizens said they’ll either buy a new house or renovate their current home.
Others would like to settle their debt, as well as buy homes or vehicles for their family members. A PlayStation 5 was also mentioned!
A few others say they just need to get away from the stresses of everyday life first by going on a long vacation or travelling the world.
How to play Lotto
You can purchase your ticket online by creating an online lottery account and making a deposit to pay for tickets.
Then simply choose your numbers on each board or opt for the Quick Pick method to receive random numbers.
Apart from purchasing tickets in-store, you can also play via South Africa’s major banks, including First National Bank (FNB), Standard Bank and Nedbank.
Simply log into your online bank account, select “Buy” or “Play Now” from the Lotto and Powerball menu. Then choose numbers manually or select Quick Pick before selecting “Buy” and “Confirm”.
