An Eastern Cape grandfather who bagged R8. 5million will get medical aid for him and his wife.
The winner of the Lotto Plus 1 jackpot travelled to Gqeberha to validate his winning ticket, because he felt word would travel in the small community of Nomathamsanqa. Picture: IthubaAfter weeks of searching and urging the winner to come forward, Ithuba said the Nomathamsanqa grandfather finally claimed their winnings from their officers in Gqeberha.
“Accompanied by his son, daughter and grandson, the elderly gentleman said that he only checked his ticket on October 2,2024 after many prompts from his family,” said Ithuba in a statement. The winner told Ithuba: “I decided to cool off a bit before checking my ticket, however my family insisted that I check, as it had been reported that the winner was a local”.
