A 21-year-old from Kwazulu-Natal who won the R531,938 DAILY LOTTO jackpot from the 2 July 2019 draw has claimed his new fortune.
The young winner, who spent only R6 on his ticket and selected his numbers manually, remained composed when he came to claim his jackpot at the ITHUBA branch in Umhlanga.
He described himself as a careful spender who is both family and community-oriented. This was reflected in his plan of how he intends to spend his winnings, as shared with ITHUBA.
“There are two things that are a priority to me at this point: my family and my community. I will spend some of the money on improving my family’s living conditions so that we have a more comfortable home. I also want to use a part of my winnings to help the elderly people in my community. It breaks my heart to see them suffer and I’m glad I am now in a position to make some difference in their lives”, said
the winner.
“Furthermore, I want to save a portion of my winnings while I continue to work. I trust that I will receive more blessings for helping others, particularly the elderly and that one day, I will win an even bigger jackpot from the Lottery”, he said.
The winner received financial advice and psychological counselling that ITHUBA provides to winners of R50 000 and above.
Since its launch in March 2019, DAILY LOTTO has paid out R 156,498,193.20 to more than 13,560,051 winners to date. Players can buy their DAILY LOTTO tickets from participating retail outlets, the National Lottery website or the National Lottery Mobile App before 20:30 every day.
