Solar panels are first up for Springs mom who bagged R3.9m PowerBall Jackpot

A mother from Springs is the latest millionaire bagging more than R3.9m in the Ithuba PowerBall Jackpot through the online banking platform.

While her usual routine involved purchasing tickets and having any winnings deposited directly into her bank account, this time she received an unexpected SMS notification that led to the realisation of her incredible fortune.

Her identity has been withheld for security reasons.

According to Ithuba, she couldn’t contain her excitement upon discovering the magnitude of her winnings.

At first, she anticipated a substantial sum, but the final amount left her overjoyed and astounded.

With the newfound financial injection, the woman has planned her first investment – installing solar panels.

Recognising the importance of an uninterrupted power supply in her daily life and business, she views this as both a necessity and a luxurious convenience that will keep load shedding at bay.

The woman played through her online Standard Bank banking platform on draw number 1420 on July 4.

Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza congratulated the lucky winner.

“We are thrilled to see yet another life transformed through the PowerBall game. This victory showcases the potential of the national lottery to create extraordinary opportunities for individuals and families. We are proud to be a part of this journey and look forward to witnessing this win’s positive impact on the winner’s life and those around her.”
