@SebusiClement stated:

"This is further proof that buying a ticket at a retail store is now just a waste of time and money. National lottery random number generation is now so biased and predictable towards banks. It's supposed to be unpredictable but this one is glaringly predictable."

"I played on the Nedbank app and my lotto notifications only come through after 24 hours so. 👀"

@VDumakude15875 commented:

"Some people are lucky shem."
