“I am ecstatic. It still feels like a dream that I will soon wake up from” – Powerball Winner Claims R102 Million Jackpot

The winner of the R102 million Powerball jackpot has come forward, confirming his life-changing win after purchasing his ticket on the FNB banking app.
From Hope to Reality: A Dream Come True
The lucky winner, who spent R100 on his ticket, visited Ithuba’s offices in Mpumalanga on Wednesday morning to claim his prize. Expressing his disbelief and joy, he said, “I am ecstatic. It still feels like a dream that I will soon wake up from.”
A regular National Lottery participant, this win comes after he previously won a R70,000 prize. The winner had been hoping for a financial breakthrough to pursue his business aspirations, specifically praying for R15 million to build a sustainable business for his family.
Winning R102 million far exceeded his expectations. “It feels like a prayer answered many times over,” he shared, adding that he plans to donate a significant portion of his winnings to an orphanage.
A Vision for the Future
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza expressed her excitement over meeting the winner, noting that he has a clear vision for his future. “I have no doubt that he will use his winnings wisely,” Mabuza said. “Our goal is to provide life-changing jackpots that can secure winners and their families for generations.”
Ithuba also reminded players that winnings are tax-free and will be paid out within 72 hours of a valid claim.
