One person has won the monumental R100 million Lotto!

Ithuba National Lottery is on the hunt for the winner of the second-highest jackpot to be won in South Africa, the result of 25 consecutive rollovers. 

The winning ticket was bought at a Pick n Pay store in Gauteng

The winner struck gold by selecting all six correct numbers in the draw, which took place on Saturday (3 August). 

“This monumental win marks the second-largest jackpot in the history of Lotto. We are overjoyed and can’t wait to meet the lucky winner.

“We urge everyone who bought tickets at Pick n Pay stores in Gauteng to check their tickets immediately. This could be your moment of a lifetime,” says Ithuba CEO Charmine Mabuza. 

The highest jackpot ever (R110 million) was won by four people in 2018. 

Mabuza reminds people that tickets are valid up to a year from the draw date.
