Self-employed mother of three bags R11m Lotto jackpot

A self-employed mother of three who bagged more than R11m in a Lotto plus 2 jackpot draw plans to travel and explore the world, indulging in her passion for golf.

“It's a dream come true and I still can't believe I've actually won,” she said.

Ithuba announced that the woman, an avid golf enthusiast, has claimed her winnings.

The winning ticket was bought on a banking platform with a R200 ticket wager and quick pick selection last week Saturday.

“I'm still on cloud nine. I told my husband first and we're both still trying to process this incredible news,” she said.

The winner said she played Lotto at least once a week.

She said her newfound fortune will bring about a significant change in her life.

The mother of three intends to give back to her community by donating a portion of her winnings to charitable causes and investing wisely to secure her family's future.

“I'll definitely continue to 'Phanda, Phusha, Play' — you never know when the next big win will come.”

Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said the remarkable win is a shining example of the National Lottery's ability to transform lives and create opportunities.

“We are thrilled to have played a part in making this winner's dreams a reality and we wish her and her loved ones all the best for the future.”
