The National Lottery is thrilled to announce that a fortunate individual has come forward to claim the incredible prize of R38,291,771.00 in the recent Powerball draw (Draw 1406) held on 16 May 2023. The lucky winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased their winning ticket on Monday using the quick pick option and eagerly watched the PowerBall draw show on e.tv at 9 pm. To their astonishment, they realised that they held the winning numbers.
After double-checking their numbers on the official website, the winner wasted no time and promptly made their way to the ITHUBA offices in Kwa Zulu Natal this morning to officially claim their life-changing prize. The fortunate individual, a 65-year-old married person with two children, has been playing LOTTO since its inception and has always believed they would emerge as a winner one day.
Despite their newfound wealth, the winner expressed a genuine commitment to continue working at this stage of their life. They intend to invest wisely and use their winnings to support charitable causes close to their heart. Their inspiring message to fellow National Lottery players is simple yet profound: "You have to have a ticket to win it."
“We extend our warm congratulations to the latest Powerball winner. It serves as a testament to the power of dreams and the endless possibilities that can be realised through the National Lottery,” – Charmaine Mabuza, ITHUBA CEO.
