Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Thatha machance or thatha your millions?<\/p>\n

The hunt is on for a South African millionaire who won the Lotto in December 2021 already but the lucky (or maybe not so lucky) person probably doesn’t even know about the R7.5m windfall.<\/p>\n

The winning ticket was bought in Cape Town but to date, the winnings have still not been claimed, and lottery operator Ithuba is on the hunt for the lucky winner.<\/p>\n

It is calling on the winner to come forward.<\/p>\n

So far, the Daily Lotto has produced 527 winners, the Lotto 12 winners, the Lotto Plus 1- 6 winners, the Lotto Plus 2-11 winners, the PowerBall 7 winners and the PowerBall Plus 8 winners, according to Ithuba spokesperson Lebogang Mokoena.<\/p>\n

“Winners have 365 days in which to claim their winnings before a ticket expires. Some winners claim immediately, and others take longer periods,” Mokoena added.<\/p>\n

The R7.5m is the only unclaimed amount.<\/p>\n

News24 took the streets of Cape Town to ask people what they would do if they found out they had won the R7.5m in question.<\/p>\n

Andrew Mtengwa, 29, said he would use some of the money to treat himself and invest in property, before investing in his own company in his field of expertise.<\/p>\n

“I would also spoil my mom and make sure she is sorted long term,” he added.<\/p>\n

Tammy Lewis, 34, said she would want to be a beacon of hope for others.<\/p>\n

“I would bless the less fortunate, invest in finding a cure for cancer and other diseases and open up an orphanage for children in need,” she said.<\/p>\n
