TWO participants have won the Lotto jackpot totaling just under R79 million from draw number 2551 on Wednesday, June 18.
The first winning ticket was purchased through a banking app with a R200 wager using the quick pick selection method.
The second winning ticket was purchased at a Day and Night Superstore in Johannesburg with a R30 wager using the same method.
The co-winner, who played via a banking platform, has been notified of their winnings by their bank and Ituba, the operator of the National Lottery, has urged the in-store participant to check their tickets.
"This draw not only produced 1 multi-millionaire, but two. Both winners will walk away with significant amounts of money that will undoubtedly change their lives," said Charmaine Mabuza, the CEO of Ituba.
"The winner service team is eagerly awaiting the arrival of these winners and ready to help and support them every step of the way."
All winners have 365 days from the draw date to claim their winnings, and all National Lottery winnings are tax-free.
