R44m for flood victim
A doting father of seven from KwaZulu-Natal recently found himself R44 331 253.90 richer, thanks to winning a Lotto draw on July 12.
He said he can now finally provide a safe and secure home for his family, who had been victim of the devastating KZN floods.
The father said this jackpot enables him to create a lasting legacy for his family, something he had always aspired to but lacked the means to do so.
He plans on using his newfound wealth to a secure a bright future for his children and extended family, since he firmly believes in the transformative power of education.
R12 million richer
Meanwhile, a Capitec player scooped up R12 111 198.20 during Lotto Draw 2354 on 26 July 2023.
Following the win, Ithuba’s CEO Charmaine Mabuza said: “We’re over the moon to see [these] incredible jackpot victories”.
She lauded the winners for their responsible play and inspirational commitment to use their winnings for their family’s well-being.
“To the fortunate winners, we say, ‘Congratulations!’ We remain committed to crafting more chances for players to win and savour the rush of the National Lottery,” she said.
