In the last week, Lottoland SA was responsible for the biggest win in the bookmaker history of South Africa. A young man from Gauteng, known only as 'Johannes', used Lottoland SA to place a quick pick bet and walked away with a R26.7 million win in the Powerball draw.
Maryke Haywood, Marketing Head of Lottoland SA says: 'When I phoned Johannes he was in total disbelief but when we sent him his flight tickets to fly to Cape Town to meet with our Lottoland SA team, reality was starting to sink in.'
On arrival in Cape Town, where he was put up in a five star hotel, the Lottoland SA team validated his required documents. Then, within three days of receiving the life-changing phone call from Lottoland SA, an amount of R26 797 077.50 was paid into his nominated South African bank account. Lottoland SA also arranged for guidance from reputable, registered financial advisors to help Johannes invest his winnings wisely.
Johannes says he placed a few bets on Lottoland SA over the past year, but it was this last bet of only R30, which gave him the big win of R26,7 million. 'Lottoland is the best!', says Johannes. 'I recommend that you try because winning big does happen to ordinary people, just like me!'
Many South Africans use the Lottoland SA platform daily to place their fixed-odds bets on international lotteries that include those that have had some of the largest lottery payouts in history, also known as the 'Big 3': the US Powerball, MegaMillions and the EuroMillions.
