A PowerBall player has claimed a staggering R68 million jackpot, following a series of rollovers.
The winner, who remains anonymous, is expected to experience life-changing opportunities as they embark on a new journey.
The winning ticket was purchased through a banking app for Draw 1617 on Friday, May 23, with a R45 wager using the Quick Pick selection method.
This significant win follows 12 consecutive rollovers, after a R110 million jackpot was won on April 8 by a healthcare worker.
The previous winner expressed her desire to buy a home for herself and her children, sharing her relief from being overworked and her excitement about taking time off to vacation with her children for the first time. She said she also wanted to secure her children's future education.
"While the R68 million winner has chosen to keep their story private, we have no doubt that this extraordinary win will bring joy, security, and life-changing possibilities to their world.
"As the latest winner begins their new journey, we at Ithuba are thrilled to have played a part in making their dreams a reality. We're excited to continue creating life-changing experiences for National Lottery game participants,” said Charmaine Mabuza, the CEO of Ithuba.
