R179 Million PowerBall jackpot winner: Newest member of the ‘Black Coffee’ Club
Somewhere out there, is a lucky South African who can take DJ Black Coffee’s Clifton villa off his hands…
On Tuesday night, one incredibly lucky South African became R179 million richer. While ITHUBA has confirmed the PowerBall jackpot was won, the identity of our new multi-millionaire remains a mystery.
If they follow the How to Blow R165 Million handbook, we might soon see a new Lamborghini parked at a Clifton villa. It’s the ultimate South African dream: moving from “Checking the price of eggs” to “Buying the whole farm” in a single draw.
What Can You Actually Buy for R5?
In today’s South African economy, R5 doesn’t usually get you much. You can’t even get a decent Chappies stash anymore. But in the world of the South African National Lottery’s PowerBall, that same R5 is a golden ticket.
Here is what your R5 can “buy” you this week:
- The PowerBall Entry: The literal price of admission to the “Never-Working-Again” club.
- The Dream of a Private Island: Or at least a very nice house in Bishopscourt where you can ignore your neighbours in style.
- The Ultimate “Resign in Style” Plan: Imagine walking into your boss’s office with a R5 ticket and walking out with a million-rand smile.
Why Friday’s PowerBall Draw is the One
Whether you’re a South African expat looking for a reason to fly home in first class or a local dreaming of a permanent “load-shedding-free” existence with a massive solar array, that R5 PowerBall ticket is your first step to the PowerBall jackpot.
Remember: you can’t win the villa if you don’t play the R5.
