ITHUBA, the proud operator of the National Lottery, is thrilled to announce that the second jackpot winner of the PowerBall Draw 1450 has stepped forward. The PowerBall jackpot rolled to an estimated R128 Million on 17 October 2023, creating not one but two lucky winners who shared the jackpot, each walking away with over R64 Million. 

Both winning tickets were purchased online through banking platforms. This life-changing ticket was purchased via the FNB platform. The Lucky winner, still absorbing the reality of his newfound wealth, has expansive plans for his future. On the horizon, he envisages building a thriving business, a dream he has nurtured for years. Additionally, a significant portion of his winnings will be astutely invested, ensuring a secure future for him and his family. 

The overjoyed winner reflected on his win, “I've always felt deep down that I would win one day. It's a sentiment my father, also a passionate National Lottery player, used to express often. He'd always say that our day of winning big would come. Today, his words have turned into a reality.” 

Charmaine Mabuza, the CEO of ITHUBA, sharing in the winner’s joy, remarked, “It is moments like these that reaffirm the power of hope and persistence. To hear about players who have been loyal and hopeful and then to see their dreams actualise is incredibly heartwarming. We at ITHUBA are proud to be a platform where dreams come true and look forward to changing even more lives in the future.” 

ITHUBA extends its warmest congratulations to the winner and wishes him every success in his business and investment endeavours. This inspiring win serves as a poignant reminder to all South Africans that with belief and persistence, anything is possible.
