"The guy was probably with the side chick when he got the message and he collapsed. Now she's sitting with the phone and figuring out how to tell the main girlfiend that she's entitled to a share."

@NtombiShibe stated:

"If you play via the app and you win money is automatically deposited into your account. They are lying."

@bonnete_28 mentioned:

@MMorakiwa shared:

"Lottery rules do not allow the operator to just deposit the money when it's above a certain threshold. With regards to FNB, they have no obligation to that. Imagine expecting any bank having to go through all lotto tickets bought via their app to check who won. That's unfair."

@GantshoLarry asked:

"So they can tell they played with FNB app but don't know who it is?"
