- One player took home the third-largest PowerBall jackpot this year in Tuesday’s drawing.
- The player, who has yet to come forward, has won more than R 121 million.
- Lottery operator Ithuba says the winner will receive trauma counseling and financial advice.
Somewhere in the Free State, a lucky person has made more than 121 million rand, but still needs to collect it.
National Lottery operator Ithuba said the player took home the third-largest PowerBall jackpot this year in Tuesday’s drawing.
But the winner has yet to contact Ithuba.
The person takes a whopping R121 730 295.90, the third-largest jackpot for 2020, after two KwaZulu-Natal winners previously won R135 million and R153 million respectively, playing on their banking apps.
The player used a ticket bet of R15 and opted for the Quick Pick method of picking the winning numbers of 07, 12, 16, 28, 38 and PowerBall number 13.
Busisiwe Msizi, head of corporate relations at Ithuba, said:
We are excited to have produced another great jackpot winner this year. We urge all players who bought their tickets from Bloemspruit, Bloemfontein to check their tickets.
“We understand that the winner could be experiencing feelings of excitement and anxiety when winning these large sums of money, but we want to assure you that we are prepared to assist you through a hassle-free claim process. Once we have validated the winning ticket, our first step is to offer the winner trauma counseling.
“Becoming R121 million richer overnight can be overwhelming for anyone – we aim to help the winner [to] digest the news and enjoy every step of this life-changing experience. The trauma counseling will be followed by extensive financial counseling to assist the winner with their financial planning to ensure they are financially secure for future generations, “added Msizi.
