KWAZULU-NATAL PLUMBER WINS OVER R38 MILLION LOTTO PLUS 2 JACKPOT
Written by Hendrik RautenbachA man from KwaZulu-Natal has won the LOTTO PLUS 2 jackpot valued at over R38 million from draw number 2469 on Saturday, 31 August. The lucky winner, who works as a plumber, discovered the life-changing news on Sunday evening while getting ready for bed.
"I received an SMS from the bank earlier, informing me that I had won some money and needed to contact ITHUBA," he explained. "I hadn’t checked the numbers at that point, so I was not sure how much I had won. I usually leave it in the bank for small wins, which they deposit directly. I have previously only won small amounts like R50, R100, or even R5. As I made my way to the ITHUBA office, I was hoping for at least R1 million to help improve our home. Even that seemed like a stretch. Imagine my shock when I found out I had won R38 million! I felt completely overwhelmed, as if I were in a dream," said the emotional winner.
He plans to use his winnings to purchase a new house—nothing extravagant, just a warm, beautiful home for himself, his wife, and their two children. "I also want to invest in my children's education and save for their future. It is important to me that this money continues to support us for a long time. I am eager to receive financial advice and learn about proper investments," he added.
Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of ITHUBA, remarked, "While this winner is incredibly happy about his winnings, we also recognise that winning such a significant amount of money can be overwhelming and have a profound impact; that is why we offer trauma counseling and financial advice to winners of R50,000 and more. We are excited for what lies ahead for him and his family."
All winnings are tax-free and paid within 72 hours of a valid claim. Players must be 18 years or older.

The winner of the R46 million LOTTO PLUS 2 jackpot from the 8 December 2018 draw, has come forward.
The soft spoken 44 year old from a small town in Rustenburg, recently started her short term contract working as a construction worker just a few months ago after enduring 9 years of unemployment. She recalls how hard things have been for her and her children: “It has been very painful to not be able to provide my children with even their basic needs. One of the most painful things I’ve had to go through as a parent was to not be able to pay for my son’s participation in the matric farewell party – that really pained me, ” said the winner.
Concerned about her safety following her newly found wealth, the winner said that she was planning on moving out of the small town as soon as possible. “Where I come from, everyone who knows me knows that I am a regular LOTTO player, I never miss an opportunity to become a millionaire even if I only have R5 to spend on a ticket. When word broke that the National Lottery was looking for the new jackpot winner who was infact from our town, people already suspected that it was me who has won”, she said.
The winner continued to say that the first thing she wants to do with her new fortune, is to buy a house for her and her family in an urban area where her children can access quality education. She also has plans to develop herself by improving her own level of education. “I went to school up to standard 5 only. This has also made me feel ashamed because I always attributed my poverty to my lack of education. Now that I won’t have to worry about hustling for my family’s next meal, I will focus on upgrading my level of education. This is something I’d like to do for myself to restore my dignity. I’d like to also look into money management training to help me to continue handle money correctly. The financial advice I received from ITHUBA has been a really good start for me. I was able to make wise investment decisions and I am comfortable to say that this money will guard me and my family our whole lives”, said the emotional winner.
