The second-highest lotto jackpot of more than R103m has been won by a player through a banking app, Ithuba has announced.
The winner is yet to claim the prize.
“It is standard practice for the banks to contact winners who played via their respective banking platforms and won amounts larger than R249,000 to inform them of their win and direct them to visit their nearest Ithuba office, where a simple yet thorough claim and validation process will be conducted. Winnings below R249,000 are automatically paid into the winner’s account,” said Ithuba.
The national lottery operator said this was the second-highest lotto jackpot to be won in the history of the game in South Africa, surpassing the R100m jackpot claimed by a Pretoria resident in August.
In 2018, Ithuba celebrated four winners who shared R110m, the highest jackpot to date.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said: “We are excited to have created another multimillionaire. We cannot wait to meet this winner and walk this remarkable transformative journey with them.”
