The latest lucky lotto jackpot winner plans to build a beautiful home for her mother, a dream she has held close to her heart for years.

Having recently completed her studies, the 22-year-old emerged as the holder of a life-changing jackpot prize worth R5.632m from the Saturday draw.

On claiming her prize, she expressed her heartfelt intentions to use the winnings for noble purposes.
