These are the top 10 biggest lottery payouts in South African history.
The Powerball is the most popular type of gambling in South Africa, as it offers an uncapped jackpot that has surpassed R100 million on several occasions – leading to the biggest winner in South Africa’s history, receiving R232 million.
People also play the lottery because it is a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment. The Powerball is R5 per board, with the supplementary PowerBall Plus game costing a further R2.50. The massive jackpot accumulated after rolling over 24 consecutive times, which increased the total significantly and caused a big increase in lottery ticket sales across the country, yet it was a single ticket which won the prize, said Lottoland.
The winner claimed that he would continue working, despite his newfound fortune and being in his 50s, and would spend the money on his children’s education and to help his family members.R100,000 per month for 193 years before running out of money.
