The South African National Lottery is happy to announce that two of the biggest PowerBall and LOTTO jackpots won from KwaZulu-Natal have been claimed by two ecstatic men from the region. The two winners from Durban won R58.7 million and R34.4 million respectively.
The man who bought his ticket from Ladysmith while travelling to Durban could not contain his excitement when he realised that he was the winner of the life-changing R58.7 million PowerBall PLUS jackpot. The winner in his 50s bought his ticket for only R30 and randomly selected his numbers. He told Ithuba that he plans on investing most of his winnings to prepare for his retirement and will continue working. ‘I have always wanted to have my own farm and spend my retirement years taking care the land and flock’, said the winner.
The second multi-millionaire winner from Umlazi, a man his 30s, said he was beyond happy about his winnings especially since he is unemployed. The winner bought his ticket at a Spar in Umlazi where he spent R60 and won the R34.4 million LOTTO jackpot. The LOTTO winner said he plans on investing in property and will invest the rest of his winnings. He also has intentions of helping his family improve their lives and will buy a house for his parents. The winner also plans to travel and will also start a business to ensure that he never has to suffer again from poverty.
Both winners received financial advice, trauma and emotional counselling. The service offered by Ithuba to its winner is to ensure that winners are able to deal with their newly found financial statuses. The service also includes advice on property and business.
To those who have not yet won anything from the lottery, these two winners advise players not stop trying and to also play if they are able to afford and play responsibly.
The Gauteng man who struck lucky twice on the PowerBall game has come forward to claim his winnings. The winner, who has asked not to be named, bought his two winning tickets with the same numbers from two different stores in the East of Johannesburg. Yes, two tickets that won in the same draw!
The winner who has been a regular lottery player since inception told Ithuba that he has, without fail, always played specific numbers and trusted that some day his numbers will come through. He told Ithuba that he bought the first ticket on a Friday morning while on his way to work and forgot that he had played, and made another bet later on the same day.
On that PowerBall draw, the jackpot was R30.6 million and there were four winning tickets each worth R7.6 million and the lucky Johannesburg-based engineer walked away with R15.2 million. The PowerBall draw took place on 24 March 2017.
The first winning ticket was bought at One Stop Spar in Kempton Park where he played for R45.00 and the second winning ticket was purchased at Brenthurst Supermarket, Brakpan where he also played for another R45.00. Upon discovering that he had won, he kept on checking and re-checking his two tickets, in disbelief.
The winner says he plans on investing most of his winnings which will go towards retirement and also settle all of his debts including his bond and car repayments. The winner informed Ithuba that he had also been one of those affected by the Johannesburg floods last year where his car was swept away by the floods. “This is indeed a miracle, as I can now pay off the debt I had incurred for the new vehicle and also help those in need around me”, said the PowerBall winner.
The winner described the experience as surreal and unbelievable. “My wife and I still wake up in the middle of the night in disbelief. This is the biggest win that the winner has had and came in two folds.
Ithuba congratulates the winner and this is a rare win, one that the lottery operator has not seen before. When asked whether he will continue working, the winner responded, “I will continue working and later retire on the coast”.
To those who have not yet won anything on the lottery, the winner advises players to not stop trying and to also play if they are able to afford and play responsibly.
Month-end blues can be a thing of the past with the two massive jackpots for PowerBall and PowerBall PLUS on the line this Friday, 24 March 2017.
This Friday’s draw sees the PowerBall PLUS jackpot at an all-time high of R43 million and the PowerBall jackpot estimated at R29 million. To have a jackpot winning ticket, the player will have to match all five numbers and the PowerBall. Ticket sales close 30 minutes before the draw.

After a successful inaugural RAFFLE game launch last year in the National Lottery game category, ITHUBA is excited to announce the Millionaires RAFFLE, which went live on Sunday, 26 March 2017.
ITHUBA had promised Lottery players that it would launch a second RAFFLE game in the second quarter of the year with even better prizes than before, and the Lottery operator is doing just that with the new millionaires RAFFLE.
Breaking the records in South Africa, once again, the game will see 12 winners becoming millionaires in one day. The new RAFFLE game guarantees that 12 lucky jackpot winners will each walk away with R1 million cash all in the same draw. A further 30 second division winners will each win R100 000, with 500 third division winners taking home R10 000 each and a 1 000 division four winners receiving a R1 000 each.
“Ithuba is proud to be launching yet another RAFFLE game for the South African market, and with the success of our Christmas RAFFLE where we sold out all 2 million tickets that were made available, we anticipate that we will sell out sooner than the draw date. We encourage all South Africans to take part in this game which promises much better chances of becoming a millionaire than any other game in our game portfolio”, says Khensani Mabuza, Marketing Manager, ITHUBA.
“At Ithuba, we remain dedicated to renewing games and in the process setting a new benchmark for the South African Lottery,” concluded Mabuza.
The tickets for the RAFFLE game are currently on sale, and only 2 million tickets have been made available, at R20 each. Tickets for the game can be purchased at any National Lottery retailer nationwide and sales will close on 27 May 2017 at 8:30pm with a draw set to take place on the same day at 9:30pm.
RAFFLE is an on-line game that utilises a computerised terminal to record sales and validate prize claims. Players cannot pick their own numbers as all tickets for the RAFFLE are generated through a “Quick Play” system. The ticket number selection is made on a random basis by a random number generator and will be issued in sequential order.
The Free State winner has finally come forward to claim her winnings.
Since the Lottery was launched in the country 17 years ago, this housewife – now turned millionaire – has always played the LOTTO game whenever she had extra cash.
Today, the Free State housewife has a bank account worth the value of a Caribbean Private Island. The R26, 550, 301 windfall was the biggest ever jackpot for LOTTO PLUS since the game’s inception.
The winner carefully selected her 6 winning numbers and only purchased the ticket for R15. She told Ithuba that her and her husband usually spent R500 on a monthly basis on LOTTO AND LOTTO PLUS tickets, and that this jackpot was the first winnings ever.
The very emotional winner described how she found out that she was the jackpot winner, “I found out about the winning ticket while standing in my kitchen and checking the results from a text message on my phone. When I got to the 3rd correct number, I just started screaming, shaking and spinning around. I was unbelievably excited. I phoned my husband, but he couldn’t believe it either and said that I should make sure first. I then phoned the Ithuba office, who confirmed that I did in fact win”.
The winner says she plans on investing most of the money to prepare for their retirement. They have both always wanted to tour South Africa, and will now be able to afford it, and she would also like to take her husband on a long-term dream of going to visit Namibia and Malawi.
Tearful, the winner said, “we never thought that we would ever win, things like this don’t happen to people like us, we are poor people”.
Both with her husband, the winner received financial advice, psychological and emotional counselling.

ITHUBA’s reinvigoration of SA’s lottery games has seen Powerball overtaking Lotto as the most popular lottery game.
Since Ithuba took over as SA’s third national lottery licence operator in June last year, it has significantly increased the number of locations where the lottery may be played, making the lottery games accessible to more South Africans.
The introduction of the Powerball Plus game which presents players with an extra chance to win and an improved Powerball game with a modified prize structure that allows for bigger jackpots, saw average weekly sales skyrocketing to over R100-million. This represented a 25% year on year sales growth during December and January.
Between November 28, 2015 and January 16, 2016, weekly sales stood at an average of R108-million as Ithuba’s expanded marketing spend; increased prize pay-out percentage and intensified jackpot awareness initiatives, among others, had grown the players™ interest in the lottery games.
During the same period in November 2014 and January 2015 under the previous lottery operator, the weekly average was R86-million. During this time, Ithuba achieved a weekly high of R140 million which was the second highest total in the history of the South Africa National Lottery.
This was achieved despite Ithuba not having an ideal start with part of its resources focused on a protracted legal battle with the previous lottery operator.
However not to be distracted by this but rather armed with a bold vision and unmatched strategy to bring the fun and excitement back into the lottery games, Ithuba came out strong and still managed to work hard to provide the country with a lottery service every week.
Ithuba’s bold marketing drive, new games and the modification of the existing games has already grown the lottery and led to good revenues as it successfully brought back interest in the lottery games which was fading away.
The fact that the Powerball sales have now surpassed those of Lotto is a clear indication of the massive positive impact the newly introduced changes by Ithuba have made.
Ithuba had forecast that by June 2, 2016, annual weekly sales would average R94-million, with total annual sales totalling R4.9-billion; however it has already exceeded projections since the introduction of the improved Powerball and Powerball Plus. In comparison, the last full year of the previous operator’s operation only achieved an R86-million weekly sales average missing its projections by almost 50%.
Ithuba is pleased to confirm that it is on track with its mission aimed at growing and reinvigorating the lottery to ensure that good causes benefit more and players enjoy additional chances of winning.
A Cape Town man has joined the list of millionaires in the region after winning the LOTTO PLUS jackpot worth R21 664 253 on 17 December 2016. Gearing up for an exciting festive season, the lottery player visited Ithuba offices to claim his winnings that will change his life forever.
The excited family man confessed to Ithuba that he never thought he would win as he had been playing the lottery for many years and had never won anything before though he had been always hopeful. The winner spent only R30 on his winning Quick Pick ticket at Kenilworth Racing, Retreat Mall, Cape Town.
After discovering that he had won, the LOTTO PLUS winner kept his winning ticket in his wallet and only confided in his son about the windfall.
The winner well in his fifties said he plans on investing most of the money to so he is able to provide a better future of his children. “Education is important to me and with these winnings, I will be able to provide the best education for my children”, said the winner.
He is also planning towards his retirement, and the winner has always had a dream of running his own business and plans to venture into business with the help of his winnings as capital.
“You have no idea what kind of a huge difference this will make to my life and that of my family”, the winner told Ithuba when asked what winning the jackpot meant to me.
Ithuba also provided the winner with financial advice and counselling to ensure that the winner has all the knowledge, resources and advice on how to cope with his new wealth.
A KwaMashu man has joined the ever growing list of millionaires that Ithuba has created after winning the PowerBall jackpot of R8 446 068.90. The winning ticket was bought at Hines Cash and Carry, Durban for the draw that took place on 09 December 2016.
The KwaZulu-Natal-born man – an avid player of lottery games – said he has been playing the same numbers for over 16 years and his perseverance has finally paid off.
On the day he bought the winning ticket for R45.00 and as per norm, he stuck to his numbers that he has been playing all these past years. “I don’t know how to describe it to you, but I honestly had a belief that someday my numbers would win. That is why I never stopped playing the same numbers all these years,” expressed the winner when asked why he never changed numbers.
The player revealed that he had the longest night of his life after realising that he was the jackpot winner. “I was watching the live draw show when my five numbers plus the PowerBall came through. It felt surreal. I had to check the ticket three times to make sure I really won”.
“It then hit me that indeed I was a millionaire. Afterwards, I immediately fetched a pen to write my name on the back of my ticket and had a silent prayer to thank my God and ancestors,” the visibly jubilant winner expressed.
The jackpot winner says he wants to settle all his debts with his winnings and also give a financial boost to his family so they can self-sustain. “I’ve already made contact with my home loan provider and I want to settle my bond, then look to extending my house.
“But also just as important for me is to ensure that my new wealth is not only enjoyed by me but my family too. I want to give a financial business loan to my family members so they can sustain themselves and not look for handouts, that way the wealth of our family will grow beyond this,” said the winner.
Ithuba also provided the winner with a financial adviser to ensure that the winner has all the knowledge, resources and advice on how to cope with his new wealth.
The winner jokingly says after all these years it is now time to change the numbers he normally plays on lottery games as the previous ones have served their purpose.
THE festive season is a time for giving, and Ithuba is doing just that for all lottery players across the country with a guaranteed R20 million jackpot for LOTTO PLUS and a further estimated R20 million for LOTTO.
Don’t miss out on these two jackpots, the draw will be on Wednesday, 14 December 2016 at 9pm on SABC 2. The tickets for the jackpots are on sale at all National Lottery retailers, online via www.nationallottery.co.za, banking channels and mobile device channels such as FLASH, Kazang, and A2PAY.

LOTTO and LOTTO PLUS draws are broadcast live on SABC 2 at 9pm on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Players need to be 18 years or older to play.

“After living from hand-to-mouth every single month and some months without money, I will finally be able to buy my dream house and provide for my family. All I have ever wanted to do was to have a house where my family could live comfortably, and be able to provide for them in the best way possible. My family has always wanted to fly in an aeroplane to go on holiday, this dream is finally going to come” concluded the winner..
