R64m South African Powerball Winner Stuns with Triple Win Using Same Numbers

Luck struck not once, not twice, but thrice for a South African Lotto enthusiast. The persistent player struck gold in the Powerball draw on the 17th of October. With a grand total of R128m on offer, the winner took home a hefty share of R64,460,746.18. This isn't the first time these particular numbers have come up; in the past, they delivered smaller prizes to the same winner.

Bought via the Absa banking platform, this ticket led to a life-changing win more significant than the player's wildest dreams. The lottery operator, Ithuba, verified and announced this impressive win on Wednesday, disclosing that a fellow winner had purchased a ticket through FNB yielding an identical gain.

The women's lottery luck has armed her with a strategic plan for her newfound finances, beginning with securing her dream home. Currently living under a rent-to-buy agreement, this jackpot win is paving her way to a more comfortable lifestyle.

The generous winner also intends to share her fortune with five charities close to her heart, embodying the spirit of giving. Despite her significant win, she aims to continue her professional life and instills hope in other lottery devotees by encouraging them to "Don't stop believing; it can happen!"

Charmaine Mabuza, the CEO of Ithuba, congratulates the winners and expresses pride witnessing dreams turn into reality through the National Lottery. The R128m total prize was up for grabs after 20 consecutive rollovers.
