Local Saffas are reacting with envy to the news that one South African has bagged a whopping R35 million after playing the Lotto.
According to a statement released by Lotto and Ithuba, the player used ABSA mobile banking application to buy his R40 ticket.

“Congratulations to one ABSA Banking App player! You are the latest #LOTTO jackpot winner of R35,780,089.22 from the 25/09/21 draw. #Manual selection & ticket wager amount was R40.”
