2 winners have yet to claim their loot.
- Ithuba says that two people have become millionaires after playing the same jackpot numbers, something that last happened in 2018.
- The two bettors have each won R7.2 million from the Lotto Plus 2 jackpot worth R14.4 million.
- The lucky winners bought their tickets for R20 and selected the winning numbers manually in Gauteng and North West.
National lottery operator Ithuba is appealing to two lucky millionaires to claim their loot.
The two bettors each won R7.2 million (their share of R14.4m) after playing the same numbers on the Lotto Plus 2 jackpot.
Ithuba spokesman Busisiwe Msizi said both players were lucky in the October 24 draw.
Msizi said that they both bought their tickets for R20 and both selected the winning numbers manually.
Won
“There has not been more than one millionaire jackpot winner since January 2018 where four people won a share of the rand 100 million lottery jackpot. While we have seen multiple winners in the same division pay and even in daily lottery jackpot, we haven’t had more than one millionaire jackpot winner from the same draw, since 2018.
“We are intrigued because the players not only won the same jackpot, but they both selected their numbers manually, with the same amount of bet. It is incredible,” said Msizi.
The first ticket was bought in Tsakane, Brakpan, while the other was bought in Lichtenburg, North West.
“We are calling on players to check their tickets and contact us as soon as possible. We can’t wait to hear the story behind two of the luckiest lottery players,” Msizi concluded.
