“We're not lucky”: Saffas left seriously jealous after someone wins R35m Lotto

Previously, Briefly News reported that Saffas reacted with envy to the news that one South African 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.

Some people feel it’s always easy to win when banking with ABSA and some argue that it’s difficult to win when manually playing at a grocery store. The Lotto game regulator posted the news on Facebook:

“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.”
