An extremely lucky lotto player from Oudtshoorn had been living off a social grant until she decided to play the lottery with R80 worth of tickets and managed to win the jackpot payout of R14 million.
She used the manual number selection and matched all six of the lucky numbers to win the top prize.
“I am extremely happy and grateful to have won this jackpot, I have a big family and we all still live together in our small home. This is an opportunity for me to move to a better area and to build a bigger house," she told local newspapers.
The spokesperson for the National Lottery Charmaine Mabuza said that, The woman will finally be able to break out of social grant system, and that is the significant difference that players experience when winning any of the National Lottery’s life changing jackpots."
South Africans now have the opportunity to play for jackpots from around the world, and win payouts from lotteries much bigger than those available locally.
