Lottoland South Africa winner walks away with R26.7 million!

In the recent week of 18th April 2022, Lottoland South Africa was responsible for the biggest win in the bookmaker history of South Africa. A young man from Gauteng, known only as ‘Johannes’, used Lottoland South Africa to place a quick pick bet with a stake value of only R30, and walked away with a R26.7 million win in the Powerball draw.

Lottoland SA has guided Johannes every step of the way and has not only made the process easy for him, but also very personal. It is this support and personal approach that really sets Lottoland South Africa apart from other bookmakers.

A day after receiving the unbelievable news by telephone, the Lottoland SA team flew Johannes and his mother from Johannesburg to the head office of Lottoland South Africa in Cape Town. It was at this point that reality finally kicked in and he could come to terms with the fact that it was 100% true, and that he really won this enormous amount of money.

On arrival in Cape Town, he was put up in a five star hotel and the Lottoland SA team validated his required documents. Then, within three days of receiving the life-changing phone call from Lottoland South Africa, an amount of R26 797 077.50 was paid into his nominated South African bank account.

Additional support services provided by Lottoland SA to the winner included coaching sessions with a psychologist to help him process the event and provide him with tools to cope with this major change in his life. Lottoland SA also facilitated guidance from reputable, registered financial advisors to help Johannes invest his winnings wisely. It was his mother who told Johannes about Lottoland, when she heard a radio interview about Lottoland South Africa.

He said he placed a few bets on Lottoland SA over the past year, but it was this last bet of only R30, which gave him the big win of R26,7 million. He explained in his own words: ‘I could not believe it when I got the call from Lottoland and it really felt like a miracle had just happened. The day I got the news was the best day of my life and the experience I have had during this process, was simply amazing. I have had so much support and guidance from the Lottoland team in South Africa and they have literally changed my life. I’m very grateful to Lottoland and I’m going to use this opportunity to make my dreams come true. I’m going to live the good life!

Keno 27/7 South Africa winner story

Lottoland's latest big winner was a lucky South African woman, another individual from Gauteng, who won R1 million in the Keno 24/7 draw on Lottoland SA.

She explained, “I’m the winner of over one million Rand! I joined Lottoland last year and have been playing occasionally. On the 9^th March around 8pm, I played Lottoland’s Keno 24/7 with three bets to a total of R6, which matched 10 numbers. Within an hour I received an email confirmation that I have won. I was asked to send a copy of my ID for verification and the process was so quick that two days later, the money already reflected in my bank account. The entire process only took three days and I had a wonderful experience with the Lottoland team. They are reliable and honest and quick to process payment.”
