LOTTO has rolled to an incredible estimated R104 Million jackpot tonight, Wednesday, 29 October.

Just when you thought it could not get any better than the jaw-dropping R98 Million jackpot in last Saturday’s draw, which launched Mzansi into a hive of excitement and saw the country’s biggest stars including Moshe Ndiki, Celeste Ntuli and, Clement Maosa and various other household names visit their nearest retail stores across the country to purchase their tickets, in the hopes of realising their biggest dreams.

This Wednesday, ITHUBA, the proud National Lottery Operator is asking Mzansi to reflect on the power of the R5.00 in today’s economic climate. Five to ten years ago, R5.00 could go a long way, whether it was to buy a Kota at your local taxi rank, ice-cream at your favourite fast-food restaurant, a packet of chips, or even taxi fare to town, but today R5.00 does not hold the same value.

Charmaine Mabuza, ITHUBA CEO also weighed in on the value of R5.00 “With LOTTO, R5.00 holds the power to potentially bring you closer to your biggest dreams. Keeping our games affordable forms part of our commitment to ensure accessibility for all our aspiring multi-millionaires,” said Charmaine Mabuza.

If this estimated R104 Million is won, this massive jackpot would be second highest recorded in South Africa, following behind the record-breaking R110 Million jackpot which was won by 4 lucky winners in 2018 and surpass the R100 Million jackpot which was won on in August 2024.

“Convenience of play is at the heart of our business, which includes the diverse methods of participation which includes retail stores, banking apps, our USSD Line, National Lottery website or mobile App, to ensure participants can play from home, office or on the go,” she added.

Ticket sales for this draw will close at 20:30 tomorrow night.

All winnings are tax free.
