Durban – South Africa has a new instant millionaire: a Bloemfontein grandfather who won the R121 Million PowerBall jackpot this week.
Two days after all his numbers came out, the man arrived at the National Lottery Operator’s office in Bloemfontein on Friday afternoon to claim his winnings.
According to the lottery operator ITHUBA, the winner, who bought his ticket at the Belvera supermarket at 8 Old Thaba Nchu Road, Bloemspruit, in Bloemfontein, had his ticket checked at a store before arriving at the National Lottery Office.
“I checked my ticket about 30 times and still couldn’t believe that I was the big winner everyone was talking about. When I arrived at the National Lottery office in Bloemfontein, I was excited and anxious when it was confirmed that I had indeed won the R121 Million PowerBall jackpot, ”said the winner.
The winner is not a regular PowerBall player, but plays Daily Lotto regularly. “I usually play Daily Lotto because it is cheaper and there is a chance to win every day. When I won some money from Daily Lotto, I decided to invest in playing PowerBall and it paid off! “
The winner, who only has a few years left before retiring, has chosen to stop working immediately.
“I do not intend to continue working, I have worked long enough and I am grateful to have the opportunity to retire earlier than I expected, without worrying about finances. My wife, however, has been looking forward to completing her degree and I promise to support her in that. “
When asked if he planned to donate part of his fortune in any way, the winner replied: “I am a religious man, I will certainly be donating to my church. Also, I have a house helper who has been working only a few days a week and a gardener who only comes in once a week. They have both been with my family for years, but I was never able to give them more work. Now that I can pay you more, I will employ you full time and I trust this will help you as well. “
He added: “Although I like my furniture, I am ready for new beginnings. I will buy new furniture and divide the existing one between my two employees. I also want to pass our family caravan to our assistant, she has always liked it and I think that will make her smile ”.
Following the extensive financial advice provided by ITHUBA, the new billionaire has decided to invest most of his earnings.
“The financial advice I received really opened my eyes to many possibilities that I was not aware of. I have decided to invest a large part of my earnings and I am happy to know that thanks to this decision, my children and grandchildren will be cared for for life ”.
