ITHUBA, the proud operator of the National Lottery, is thrilled to announce the lucky winner has claimed an astounding LOTTO PLUS 2 prize of R13,461,673, 13 March 2024, draw number 2420.

The winner, a devoted father of three boys aged 25, 19, and 9, and married for 27 years, has been identified as a shining example of the life-changing impact of the National Lottery. Last year, he secured a prize of R17,000 through the National Lottery, which seemed to set the tone for his remarkable stroke of luck.

As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible play, the winner has been provided with comprehensive financial counselling, which is offered free of charge to all National Lottery winners receiving amounts over R50,000 by ITHUBA.

In a statement provided by the winner, he expressed his gratitude and encouraged fellow players with a message of hope, stating, "One day will be your day, play small and constant." Furthermore, he pledged to continue his support for charitable causes, particularly focusing on animal shelters, with his newfound winnings.

Mrs. Charmaine Mabuza, CEO remarked, "We are thrilled to celebrate yet another life-changing win with one of our players. At ITHUBA, we remain dedicated to fostering a culture of responsible play while bringing joy and prosperity to communities across South Africa. We congratulate the winner and wish him continued success and fulfilment in his future endeavours."
