Double Lotto Plus jackpot drama: SA has two new millionaires
Two overnight millionaires in SA?! Lotto Plus delivers double jackpot shock.
South Africans had a proper “wait… WHAT?!” moment this weekend after both Lotto Plus jackpots were scooped in one night.
On Saturday, 18 April, one very lucky player nailed all six numbers in Lotto Plus 1 and walked away with a cool R9.9 million.

The winning combo? 1, 4, 8, 40, 41, 57 (bonus ball: 19 - nice, but not needed for the jackpot).
As if that wasn’t enough, Lotto Plus 2 said, “hold my ticket”…
Another winner matched all six numbers - 21, 38, 43, 56, 57, 58 (bonus ball: 53) - and bagged a massive R22.3 million.
Two jackpots. One night. Somewhere out there, two people are currently pretending to act normal while internally screaming.
R86 million is still up for grabs
Saturday’s main Lotto draw came and went with no jackpot winner, meaning the prize has now rolled over to an eye-watering R86 million for the next draw.
Numbers drawn: 23, 25, 31, 48, 52, 53 (bonus ball: 8).
So while two people are celebrating quietly, the rest of the country is eyeing that R86 million.
