A GUARANTEED "festive" jackpot of R15million is up for grabs this Saturday says Gidani spokesperson Thembi Tulwana.

A R19481294 prize, won by one lucky winner in Gauteng last Saturday, is yet to be claimed.

Last Saturday's jackpot was the culmination of successive rollovers that began with a guaranteed R10million jackpot on November 28.

Gidani has so far made 94 lottery millionaires - with the highest number from Gauteng with 38, followed by KwaZulu-Natal at 18 and Western Cape at 14. About 25 winners used the quick pick option.

Tulwana advised players to take goog care of their tickets - adding that time was running out for a player from Western Cape whose R1,2million -winning ticket would expire at the end of the month.

The ticket was bought on December 31 2008 with the winning numbers 8, 10, 11, 15, 46 and 37. There are also four other large Lotto wins still to be collected by the winners.
