A lucky woman from KwaZulu-Natal has claimed her R107 million Powerball jackpot prize, and while claiming her prize, she shared the secret to how she won the jackpot.
“I texted my partner saying, ‘I got the call!’ I wasn’t entirely sure how much I had won at that moment, but I knew all my numbers matched the winning numbers. The only uncertainty was whether they were from the same draw,” she excitedly shared.
Months of Playing Pays Off
The winner revealed that she had been using the same numbers, which hold special meaning to her as they represent significant birthdays and ages of loved ones. Despite her regular play, she confessed she never expected to win such a massive prize.
“About four months ago, I decided to focus exclusively on Powerball, though I never imagined I’d win a jackpot of this size,” she admitted.

She was at home with her partner and children when she checked the numbers after the draw. To her amazement, she noticed the first three numbers were identical to hers, and then it hit her — every single number matched.
Plans for the Winnings
When asked about her plans for the substantial winnings, the delighted winner mentioned that her priority is providing a top-quality education for her children, which previously seemed beyond her financial reach.
“Education for my children is a priority. This win means I can now provide them with the best opportunities possible,” she said.
In addition to securing her children’s future, she intends to contribute to causes close to her heart, including donations to assist the elderly and animals in need.
