Cape Town – An unemployed Johannesburg woman has won R75 million in what the National Lottery says is the highest Powerball jackpot so far in 2023.
The draw was done on March 17.
According to the National Lottery, the occasional player picked her lucky numbers with her husband.
“When I checked the results at home and I realised that I had won, I became very excited. I was always hopeful that I would one day win the jackpot,” she said.
The woman, who bought her winning ticket at Spar Kingfisher, said she kept her ticket safely in her bag before claiming her millions at the Ithuba offices.
She plans to live a comfortable life and invest in her children’s education.
