Limpopo man win R43m Powerball jackpot with R22 ruffle ticket
It’s a big-money move if you hit the jackpot. Of late the Powerball jackpot was not soo kind to Mzansi but it seems as if the heavens smiled for a local Limpopo man who won the jackpot. Well, it seems to be more of one of those Lottery Ticket movie scenes.
A Limpopo father of three won the Powerball jackpot recently from an R22 quick pick. We can all agree that he is now a self-made millionaire. However, the winner has something in mind.
He plans to give his children the best education and empower his community through job creation and self-sustenance projects.
However, the National lottery has since confirmed the winner. National lottery operator Ithuba said the winner has claimed his winnings from the March draw.
The winning lottery ticket was purchased on the Nedbank banking app with a ticket wager of R22.50 and the winner used a quick-pick selection method.
Questioned about what he will do with winnings the winner had this to say.
“I want to enjoy my winnings with my family. My father and I have our own family business and some of the money will go towards expanding and growing the company. This will also allow me to create jobs within my community.”

Some of the winnings will be given to my children. I want them to have the best education I can afford because they deserve that. I won big no doubt and the money should be of good use.
“This is honestly something I never expected. I will save a portion of my winnings to be able to give them the opportunity to go to university one day and make their dreams become a reality.”
Group chief executive of Ithuba Charmaine Mabuza said the company’s partnerships with banks were yielding positive results.
“We are happy to announce another banking app jackpot winner. Since 2015, over R1.3 billion in winnings has been paid to banking channel winners.
“The partnership with banks provides our players with the convenience of playing Lottery games from anywhere, any time on trusted platforms of their choice”, said Mabuza.
