Big jackpots, including R43 million in the PowerBall draw and R29 million in Lotto, are up for grabs, proving that life can surprise you – just like the lucky R8 million Lotto Plus 2 winner.
WELL, well, well – someone had a merry little Christmas after winning a whopping R8,099,103.60 in the Lotto Plus 2 draw on December 21. That’s more than enough to buy a small island or at least enough champagne to make you think you did. And while we don’t know who this lucky winner is (they’re probably busy buying a yacht right now), one thing is certain: the Lotto is not done giving out gifts.
Here’s what’s up for grabs in the next few days:
Lotto – R29 million
Draw Date: December 28, 2024
Forget about a new car or a home makeover. With this jackpot, you could buy yourself a mansion and a fleet of luxury cars. Need a personal chef to go with that mansion? No problem. Want to own your own private island? Now you’re talking. Time to wave goodbye to your 9-to-5 and say “hello” to the life of leisure.
Lotto Plus 1 – R40 million
Draw Date: December 28, 2024
Yes, R40 million – enough to make you wonder how you ever survived on a budget. Buy a trip on a spaceship. Buy a castle. Buy a fleet of trucks to haul all your stuff across the globe as you travel between your multiple homes. There are no rules when you’re playing with this kind of cash. You could even throw a “Thank you Lotto” party for the rest of us… we’ll be there.
Lotto Plus 2 – R1 million
Draw Date: December 28, 2024
Okay, okay, we get it. R1 million is “just” a million, but hear us out – if you really want to lean into the whole “becoming a millionaire” vibe, this is your golden ticket. Time to book that dream vacation to Paris or buy a robot to do your bidding. It’s not quite the life of a tech mogul, but it’s a pretty solid start.
PowerBall – R43 million
Draw Date: December 27, 2024
PowerBall is back and it’s feeling generous. Maybe you’ve always wanted to live like a celebrity. This is your chance. Picture yourself sipping piña coladas from the comfort of your own private beach, watching the sunset over your private mansion. Just remember us when you’re writing your memoirs about how you “always knew” this would happen.
PowerBall Plus – R14 million
Draw Date: December 27, 2024
We get it, R14 million might sound like “pocket change” next to the PowerBall’s R43 million, but don’t sell yourself short. With R14 million, you can buy yourself an entire fleet of cars, a herd of alpacas (because why not?), or a big chunk of the moon (okay, maybe just a nice house instead).
Jets, mansions, penguins: who’s next for the jackpot?
With R43 million in the PowerBall and R40 million in Lotto Plus 1, life’s offering some serious opportunities. Who knew that a simple ticket could lead to dreams of private jets, beachfront mansions, and maybe a pet penguin?
The R8 million Lotto Plus 2 winner is probably off somewhere enjoying their newfound fortune (perhaps in a hammock, sipping something tropical). But hey, why not you next time? Someone’s got to keep the jackpot throne warm.
And with R29 million up for grabs in Lotto, it’s the perfect time to let your imagination run wild. Whether it’s splurging on something ridiculously fun or just turning a small windfall into something big, the world’s full of possibilities. So, who knows? You could be the next one making headlines.
