MEET THE R2.7 MILLION WINNERS

The Citizen reports that the two South Africans who recently claimed their jackpot of R2.7 million each, struck gold on Saturday, 26 August.

The first winner, who is a 71-year-old resident of Hermanus in the Western Cape says he wishes to buy a new car, while the second winner, who is a 38-year-old from Johannesburg aspires to further his education and improve his family’s quality of life.

The second winner adds that he manually selected his numbers via the Capitec app and chose the numbers after six weeks of deliberation. The jackpot winners who choose to remain anonymous reveal they played with less than R5 each.

The latest millionaires were announced three days after a 55-year-old man won R26 million in the Ithuba National Lottery on Wednesday, 30 August.
