Check your tickets! The South African Lottery operator, Ithuba, confirmed the latest winning R55 million Powerball Jackpot ticket was bought in Limpopo.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said it is “Wonderful to witness how people’s dreams come true through our life-changing jackpots”.
However, the lucky player has to claim their winnings. Could it be you? Here’s what you need to know.
According to Mabuza, last Friday’s R55 million Powerball Lotto Jackpot winner purchased their ticket in Limpopo via the quick pick selection.
The player spent only R15 on the ticket for draw #1283 on 11 March and will be getting R55 million in return.
If it’s you, Mabuza suggests heading to Ithuba’s Polokwane regional office to claim their winnings as soon as possible.
To help you adjust to your new lifestyle, a team of financial advisors and psychologists are also available to offer financial advice and trauma counselling at no cost to the winner.
“While we congratulate our latest winner, we are also excited about the PowerBall Plus rollover jackpot which is currently standing at an estimated R68 million,” concluded Mabuza.
Stand a chance to win the R68 million jackpot by purchasing a Powerball ticket for this Friday’s draw at 9pm. Visit www.nationallottery.co.za for more information.
That said, remember to play responsibly.
