Powerball’s R114 Millionaire is a backroom dweller from Soweto
Written by Hendrik Rautenbach
The winner of the R114 Million PowerBall jackpot is a 35-year-old woman from Soweto.
The occasional Lottery player said she decided to try her luck when she saw other people queuing to buy their tickets. “On my way from work, I saw a long que of people with betslips and I knew they must be pursuing something big, even though I had no idea of what the jackpot prize was. I became curious and searched for some coins in my bag to see if I could also play” said the winner.
The young winner, who manually selected her numbers, spent only R5 on her winning ticket that she bought at Victor and Son’s café in Roodepoort.
Speaking to ITHUBA, the winner said that she was renting a back room in Soweto. “Sometimes, I could not always afford rent so my brother would always assist me”.
The winner, who is a blue-collar worker, says she has been yearning to be fully involved in her children’s everyday life for years now. “My 4 children have been staying with my mother back at home, and I have never been able to spend as much time with them as I wish since I had to work in Johannesburg. I am mostly grateful that this money will give me an opportunity to raise my children, to be able to take them to school and have the pleasure of preparing a scrumptious meal that they can enjoy when they get back from school, something that I’ve been wishing for, for a long time.” she said.
The winner received trauma counselling and financial advice which ITHUBA offers to winners of R50 000 and above for free. “Judging by the amount of time the winner spent with both the psychologist and the financial advisor, we are confident that she will make sound financial decisions that will secure her family’s future for generations to come” said Busisiwe Msizi, head of corporate relations at ITHUBA.
ITHUBA treated the winner to a five-star hotel stay in Gauteng. “The winner was in complete disbelief when she saw her room. She said in Isizulu: ‘umbhede wami ngempela lona, omkhulu kangaka!’(which means, ‘is this big bed really mine’)” said Msizi.
The winner said in addition to buying her own house, she wants to build her mother a big house that she will comfortably live in. She would also like to buy herself a stylish car but first needs to learn how to drive and obtain her driver’s license as soon as possible.
“I can’t wait to drive past my ex-boyfriend in my new car. He will probably faint when he sees me waving at him. He broke up with me because I was broke and didn’t have a fancy job” she said jokingly.
The winner, who will not be returning to her job, says her new life has begun.
This PowerBall jackpot has rolled 19 times before it got hit. It is the 6th highest jackpot to ever be won in the history of the South African National Lottery, the highest one being R232 Million that was won in February 2019.
Published in PowerBall
The winner of the R141 Million PowerBall jackpot from the Friday 23 August 2019 draw has come forward to claim his winnings. The winning ticket was purchased at a Spar in Groot Brakrivier, Western Cape. He becomes the third richest PowerBall jackpot winner in South Africa with a whooping R141 Million after playing a ticket wager of just R105 via a Quick Pick selection method, he joins the R232 Million winner from February 2019 and R145 Million winner from August 2018.
The 50 year old man who is in construction and was on holiday in the Mossel Bay region with his wife when he bought the winning ticket and says buying the ticket was part of their plans that day. He says he hardly plays the National Lottery games but something on that day told him that he should play it and it’s his lucky day.
The winner’s wife says that a few weeks before her husband played, she had dreamt that she saw gold particles being sprinkled all over her husband. The following morning, she told the husband about the dream. She believes this was a sign from God that her husband will soon be showered with blessings. She says she is glad she told her husband about the dream as it could have been hard for anyone to believe her premonition that he has won jackpot.
Whilst many lottery players have set playing methods on how they choose their numbers, a notable percentage cite dreaming of winning numbers and then going to play them.
The couple say they do not plan on making drastic changes to their lives because they prefer the quite life. They will both continue working and plan to invest the money so that their children and grandchildren can have a secured future for generations to come.
The winner received financial advice and trauma counselling from ITHUBA, a free service that is offered to all winners of above R50 000.

ITHUBA says that they are ready to receive both winners. “We trust that the winners are aware that they hold winning tickets and that they will get in touch with our office as soon as possible. Our Winner Services department is ready to welcome and assist them through a smooth claiming process”, said Khensani Mabuza, Corporate Relations Executive.

A R30 ticket wager and a manual selection of numbers was all it took for a 39 year old man to win the whopping R55 Million PowerBall jackpot from the 4th of June 2019 draw.
The winner, who says he’s a regular Lottery player, recently visited the ITHUBA office in Sandton to claim his new fortune. In the company of his partner and his father-in-law, he told ITHUBA that this windfall would change his life in a big way. “The first thing that I want to do is to invest a large sum of my winnings so I don’t ever have to face financial challenges again. I also want to buy a house where my partner and our two children can live, we have been staying at her parents’ house and I have been longing for us to own a home of our own. One other important wish I have been hoping to fulfill, is to pursue tertiary education. Now that I can afford to, I plan to register the first chance I get.”
The winner says he will donate some money to close family and relatives to help improve their lives as well. He accepted the financial advice and trauma counselling that ITHUBA offers to all winners of R50, 000 and above.
Players can purchase PowerBall tickets from participating retailers, the National Lottery website, Mobile App or participating banking channels at any time before 8:30pm on the day of the draw.
