In an exciting turn of events, a lucky Pretoria resident has finally stepped forward to claim their massive R100 million Lotto jackpot, which was won during the 3rd August draw. This life-changing win has been confirmed by Ithuba, the operator of the South African National Lottery.
A Historic Win in Pretoria
The winning ticket, purchased at Pick n Pay Hazeldean Square in Pretoria, has made headlines as Ithuba officially announced the claim on Monday, 26th August. This incredible win, which occurred during draw number 2461, marks one of the largest jackpots in the history of the game.
The R100 million prize is the result of an impressive 25 consecutive rollovers, building up to this monumental amount. This win follows closely behind the record-breaking R110 million jackpot, which was shared by four lucky participants back in 2018.
Celebrations and Congratulations from Ithuba
Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of Ithuba, expressed her joy and excitement for the latest jackpot winner. “We are overjoyed to celebrate this monumental win with our latest jackpot winner, especially during Women’s Month,” Mabuza shared. She emphasized that the R100 million prize is a life-changing amount and highlighted the excitement and opportunities the South African National Lottery brings to participants across the country.
The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, shared her immense gratitude and excitement for this life-altering event.
The Role of the National Lottery
Mabuza also highlighted the broader impact of the National Lottery, stating, “We are proud of the role the National Lottery plays in changing lives for the better, not only for our winners but for the broader community as well. This latest win is another reminder of the excitement and possibilities that the lotto brings.”
It’s worth noting that all lotto winnings in South Africa are tax-free, and as always, players must be 18 years or older to participate. Ithuba remains committed to encouraging responsible play as the proud operator of the National Lottery.
