A 57-year old geologist who betted twice on the same numbers in the Lotto Plus has walked away with a double jackpot.
The anonymous man won a total of R803 434.20 in the April 14 draw. It's reported the winner used a banking app to play and opted for the manual selection of his lucky winning numbers.
“Using numbers that he had randomly selected the lucky player betted on the same numbers twice and bagged the full Lotto Plus 1 jackpot amount.” said Charmaine Mabuza, iThuba’s CEO.
