“We understand that the winner could be experiencing feelings of both excitement and anxiety at winning these large sums of monies, but we want to assure them that we are prepared to assist them through a smooth claiming process once the lockdown period is lifted,” Ithuba’s Khensani Mabuza said adding:
“This includes psychological counseling which is essential in helping the winner deal with this life-changing moment.”
In addition to becoming the biggest jackpot winner for the year 2020, the latest PowerBall multi millionaire is also the first online main prize winner since Ithuba took over as the operator in 2015.
The winner used the FNB banking app to play PowerBall with a ticket wager of R100 and opted for the quick pick selection method to select the winning numbers of 06, 12, 32, 36, 45 and Powerball number 04.
