A local man became an instant multi-millionaire after he won over R51 million from Lotto's Powerball draw on the second of March this year. According to reports, the lucky man purchased the ticket at a Polokwane supermarket using only R30.
Speaking in a recent interview, the lucky guy and now millionaire says that he will be using his money to pursue his dream of working as a social worker. The man also said that he would be using the cash to build a big and beautiful home for his family.
His other plans include investing a bulk of his money which will be a smart way to stop him from blowing all his cash recklessly like many other instant millionaires have done a number of times in the past, a HeraldLive article reports.
Meanwhile, locals have had this to say about the fact that there is a new winner:
