South African National Lottery operator Ithuba is urging people to check their lotto tickets as jackpots amounting to over R257 million remain unclaimed as of 30 October 2024.
This includes a Powerball Plus jackpot of over R3.4 million for a ticket purchased in Louis Trichardt in Limpopo on 19 January 2024.
Another is a Daily Lotto price of R640,100 belonging to a ticket bought in Carletonville in Gauteng on 5 January 2024.
“It is always unfortunate when winners do not follow up on their well-deserved prizes,” says Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza.
Participants can walk into their nearest retail store or Ithuba office to validate their tickets and check if they have unclaimed winnings.
For those using digital platforms, including banking platforms, there is no need to claim winnings under R249,000 as they are automatically paid.
