She shared:

"I texted my partner, telling him that I got the call. At that point, I didn't know how much I had won, but I knew that all my numbers matched the winning numbers but remained unsure as to whether the numbers were from the same draw."

The numbers she chose were the same as the birthdays and ages she held near her heart.

"However, four months ago, I decided to narrow my focus and only play Powerball, but I never believed I could win a prize this big."

The X account for the national lottery (@sa_lottery) shared a post announcing the win:

The woman, who plans to leave her job, further shared that she never received a tertiary education.

"It was never an option in my family. My parents couldn't afford it, and it is a privilege that I want to offer my children. There is also so much of the world I have not seen, so travelling is also on my list."

The big winner also plans to donate to charity organisations that assist the elderly and children.
