A Pietermaritzburg participant has become R10.9 million richer after winning the LOTTO PLUS 2 jackpot in draw 2493 on Saturday, 23 November 2024.

The winning ticket, purchased at South Gate Spar in Pietermaritzburg with a quick pick selection, remains unclaimed. ITHUBA is eagerly awaiting the winner to come forward, anticipating they will claim their prize before the end of the week.

“We are always excited to see our participants win these life-changing jackpots. We encourage all players in the Pietermaritzburg area who played at South Gate Spar to check their tickets and claim their winnings,” said ITHUBA CEO Charmaine Mabuza.

But the good news doesn’t stop there. Another lucky participant won R2.7 million LOTTO jackpot from the same draw, having also used the quick pick option via their banking app. Additionally, the Daily LOTTO jackpot of R500 000, draw 2081 on 23 November 2024, was won by a participant who played through their banking app with a quick pick selection.

Mabuza extended her congratulations to all the winners, adding, “Congratulations to our recent LOTTO, LOTTO PLUS 2, and Daily LOTTO winners. We are excited to welcome them to our visit the ITHUBA offices so that we may assist them as they begin this new chapter.”

Participants who played through banking platforms will be contacted directly by their respective banks and guided to their nearest ITHUBA office to claim their prizes.

ITHUBA also reminded participants to check their tickets regularly. “As of 30 October 2024, over R257 million in National Lottery prizes remain unclaimed. Players should act quickly, as prizes not claimed within the 365-day claim period are forfeited and redirected to community causes through the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF),” Mabuza concluded.
