What happens after winning?
If you hold a winning ticket, congratulations — but what’s next? Winners of prizes over R50,000 must claim their winnings directly from Ithuba’s regional offices. For security reasons, a standard 48-hour validation process applies before payout.
Winners are also offered free financial and trauma counselling, ensuring life-changing wins don’t become burdens. A recent case is proof of this support: a retired Western Cape mom who scooped a R30 million Lotto Plus jackpot earlier this year.
Play responsibly
While the excitement of winning millions is undeniable, Lotto is a game of chance. Always set a budget, play responsibly, and remember that entertainment — not dependency — should drive your participation.
