“Scam this lottery. One person, not even share where did he get her numbers alone. In the daily Lotto, they always share similar numbers. This one is always a one-man jive.”

@Nyanda73410392 said:

“From 2010 up until now the better price I received was R590 in 2016. Lotto is nothing but legal criminality, I can't take this anymore now I spend more than R60 on each and every draw but get nothing in return congratulations to the fake winner.”
