A lucky Lotto player just turned a simple R60 Quick Pick ticket into a life-changing win of over R9.7 million! The jackpot from the October 4, 2025, draw will let her live life to the fullest, starting with a world tour.
She bought her ticket through a banking app, and the win came as a total shock—an SMS from her bank let her know she’d hit the jackpot. “I was in shock… I just went numb,” she admitted, rushing to the Ithuba regional office to claim her prize. Sharing the news with her daughter was an unforgettable moment of pure joy.
A regular Lotto player, she prefers Quick Pick for its ease and convenience. But now, her plans are bigger than ever: traveling to serene destinations around the globe and expanding her business ventures as an entrepreneur.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza congratulated the winner and encouraged everyone, especially in-store players, to check their tickets. “There are many more winners out there,” she said. In fact, Division 3 alone produced 17 winners, each receiving R9,193.40. With recent Lotto matrix changes, higher numbers of winners are expected across other divisions too.
From a small R60 wager to a multi-million payout, this win is a reminder that luck can strike anytime—and life can change in an instant.
