Unemployed lady wins R75m Powerball prize.
A jobless mother of two from Johannesburg has won the biggest jackpot of the year, R75 million from the Powerball. This will change her life.
The R75 million Powerball jackpot is the biggest win of 2023. It was won by an unemployed woman from Johannesburg who sometimes plays Lotto.
The ticket for Draw #1389 was bought at a Spar in Fourways on March 17, 2023, by a player who wishes to remain anonymous.
The winner told Ithuba that she only plays Lotto and Powerball every once in a while, and that she and her husband picked the winning numbers together.
"I was very happy when I checked the results at home and saw that I had won. "I always hoped I would win the jackpot one day," she said.
