What Did the Winner Spend on Their Ticket?

The winning ticket was purchased digitally using a banking app, with the lucky player opting to manually select their numbers. The ticket cost the winner just R100, a relatively modest price for a prize of such immense value.

The Powerball jackpot had been rolling over for 16 consecutive draws before the winner finally emerged. This huge windfall is bound to change the winner’s life, and the clock is ticking for them to come forward and claim their prize.

How to Claim the R102M Jackpot?

Ithuba National LotteryThanks to the digital purchase method, the process of claiming the prize is made simple. South Africa’s Ithuba National Lottery, has stated that winners who purchase tickets digitally are automatically notified, making it easier than ever to claim their winnings. There’s no need for the winner to manually check the results, as the bank would have already informed them of their incredible fortune.

Despite the winner not yet coming forward, Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza remains optimistic and eagerly awaits the moment to congratulate the lucky individual.

Additional Big Wins from the Draw

It wasn’t just the R102 million Powerball jackpot that brought joy in the January 24 draw. Three lucky players walked away with R226,449.60 each in the second division, and it’s a reminder for all players to double-check their tickets. The odds of winning in the second division may be smaller, but winning even a smaller prize is still a huge achievement.

Winners Get Trauma Counseling and Financial Advice

For all players who win R50,000 or more, Ithuba provides trauma counselling and financial advice to help them navigate their newfound wealth. These services are especially important for those who suddenly find themselves with a large sum of money, helping them make the most of their winnings in a secure and responsible way.

The Wait Continues for the Powerball Winner

The lucky individual who purchased the winning ticket can expect their winnings to be processed and paid within 72 hours of their valid claim. Not only are the winnings tax-free, but they also have the potential to be life-changing for the winner and their loved ones.

So, if you bought a ticket for the January 24 Powerball draw, take a moment to check your numbers. You may just be the next big winner, but if not, keep playing responsibly, as the next jackpot could be just around the corner.

Remember: Always play responsibly and be sure to verify your results!
