Someone’s financial problems are over after winning the R19 million Lotto jackpot, was it you?

SO, HOW has your year been going thus far? I know, some will complain – quite understandably – about the high cost of living, but as from Wednesday evening, one of those people will leave those ranks.

Yes, that’s right, someone in South Africa – it could even be you – woke up R19 million richer after winning Wednesday night’s Lotto jackpot.

This one person nailed the numbers in the November 20, 2024 draw and won R19,081,940.30.

Meanwhile, two people won in the second division – five correct numbers and the bonus ball – and each of them will win an amount of R43,234.10.

Also, a total of 36 people had five correct numbers and each of them wins R4,177.20.

So go back and check your tickets!

In other news, there were no winners in the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 jackpot and these jackpots will roll over to an estimated R24 million and R11 million in the next jackpot draw on Saturday.

Recently we reported that the National Lottery Ithuba said unclaimed jackpot tickets amounted to a staggering R257 million across all their games.
