The winner, who is from Gqeberha, said that he watched the draw show on TV and realised immediately that his numbers were the winning numbers and that he had become a multi-millionaire.

‘COULDN’T SLEEP’

“I couldn’t sleep that night, I was so excited and I had so many thoughts going through my mind. The next morning I did not hesitate, and I went straight to the ITHUBA office to process my winnings.

“The winner services team has been extremely helpful and patient with me as I am an old man,” added the pensioner.

The PowerBall Plus jackpot winner, who plans to buy a house and car as well as invest in his grandchildren’s education, had previously worked as a delivery driver before going into retirement.

“I am very excited and feeling very blessed that I am now able to leave something behind for my children and grandchildren. My family will not struggle, they will have good lives long after I’m gone with this now being their legacy,” added the winner.

The man said that he had been playing all the National Lottery games for a very long time, and had previously won R7 000 from one of the games.

The winner usually selects his numbers using birth dates and sometimes selects them via quick-pick.
