A KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) mom has come forward to claim the R107 million National Lottery winnings, which was drawn on 03 August.
Ithuba confirmed that the winner had purchased the winning ticket at Pick n Pay in Gauteng using her FNB Banking platform.
The winner reportedly came forward to claim her millions after receiving a call informing her to go to the Ithuba offices.
According to reports, the mom of millions plans to travel, donate some of her winnings to charity and give her children a quality education.
She also excitedly texted her partner to let him know that she received the life-changing call but didn’t know how much she had won.
“I texted my partner telling him that I got the call. At that point, I didn’t know how much I had won but I knew that all my numbers matched the winning number but remained unsure as to whether the numbers were from the same draw.
I never received tertiary education, it was never an option in my family, my parents could not afford it and it is a privilege I want to offer my children.
There is also so much of the world that I have not seen, so travel is also on my list.”
According to IOL, the winner of the R107 million Lotto winnings played the same numbers for years, using birthdays and ages of her loved ones.
News that one person had won the staggering Lotto was met with scepticism, with many on social media calling the Lotto rigged.
National Lottery says the R100 million jackpot rolled over 25 consecutive times before the lucky person securing the bag.
No winners were reported for the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 jackpots and the jackpots have rolled over to an estimated R8 million and R31 million respectively.
