R100 Million Lotto Jackpot unclaimed: Check your tickets now

Pretoria Lotto participants are urged to check their tickets as the R100 million jackpot remains unclaimed, now the second-largest in history.

ITHUBA urges Pretoria Lotto participants to check their tickets as the R100 million jackpot, now the second-largest in history, remains unclaimed.

According to the statement by ITHUBA, the winning ticket, purchased at Pick n Pay, Hazeldean Square, Pretoria, has not yet been claimed.

ITHUBA said it is actively searching for the winner of the R100 Million LOTTO jackpot from draw number 2461, which took place on August 3, 2024.

“It is quite likely that the winner is still not aware that they hold the winning ticket. We urge all players to check their tickets urgently to see if they are the lucky winner of this life-changing jackpot,” Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of ITHUBA said.

If the prizes are not claimed within 365 days from the draw date, the claim period will expire, and the funds will be redirected toward the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) to share among good causes and beneficiary organizations.

“The unclaimed R100 Million LOTTO jackpot now stands as the second-largest in history, following the R110 Million jackpot that was shared among four winners in January 2018.

“As a value-added service, ITHUBA provides all winners of R50,000 and above with trauma counseling and financial advice.”
