Now that we have your attention, we wanted to share a story that truly is inspiring. 

A Rustenberg resident who happens to be in his seventies recently won the Powerball Plus Jackpot and is the winner of a whopping R33-million! 

"According to National Lottery Ithuba, the winner said he had been playing the National Lottery games for nine years and the highest amount he had previously won was R80. For this draw, the winner spent R30 on his winning ticket and opted to select his numbers manually." (MSN)

His plans for the money? 

"I'm so happy ... I am going to build houses for my wife and child,” said the winner. "Winning this amount will definitely make a big difference in my life." (MSN)

The pensioner found out about his winning ticket over the internet and kept it away safely until such time that he could claim it. 

Well done to him for being so patient and responsible.
