The National Lottery Ithuba said the winning ticket was purchased via the FNB online banking platform.
Ithuba said the winner described the experience as similar to golden confetti falling on them, accompanied by the tunes of jazz or soul music, while enjoying a vacation at an ocean-based destination.
“The winner intends to invest in property, allocate a portion of the winnings for a charitable donation, handle their newfound wealth wisely, and continue to pursue their passion in their current job.”
