After winning a life-altering R7.8 million in the Lotto Plus 1 jackpot, a fortunate citizen of the Western Cape may now enjoy her career without having to worry about money.
The mother of two, who prefers to be anonymous, used the Standard Bank Banking App to buy her winning ticket with an R60 wager and Quick Pick option.
She expressed relief that this windfall will lessen the strain of everyday living expenditures and characterized the thrill of winning as both exhilarating and humbling.

She wants to take care of her kids, remodel her house, and travel as much as she can with her riches. Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of National Lottery Ithuba, thanked the winner and expressed how satisfying it is to witness how this jackpot will improve her life.
Players can win the third-largest Lotto prize available, estimated at R83 million, as the next Saturday draw draws near.
