The search is on for a R20m Lotto winner who still hasn't claimed the massive prize
In other stories related to gambling, Briefly News reported that two lucky South Africans are multi-millionaires and they don't even know it yet.
Ithuba recently made the announcement that two players who won R20m and R30m in the last month have yet to claim the prize.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza has encouraged the people who purchased a ticket at a pawn shop in Carltonville to check their tickets because that is where a ticket was purchased that won the R20m prize on the 29th May.
Meanwhile, the other lucky winner of an R30m prize also has not come forward to claim their prize after a draw saw their lucky numbers being called on the 14 of April, a Timeslive article recently reported.
