A Limpopo woman has become an instant multi-millionaire after winning over R22 million in the Lotto Jackpot draw last weekend.

The woman had been unemployed for seven years when she hit the jackpot. She earned a living by selling beauty products and working as a hairdresser.

She played the Lotto via the Capitec Bank app. After receiving a notification that she had won, she verified it with the bank before visiting the Ithuba offices to process her claim.

Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said the woman was the first Capitec Lotto multi-millionaire winner.

The woman plans to build her mother a house, invest in her children's education, empower young women, and she wants to pursue her own dream of becoming an electrical engineer.

The National Lottery is in the business of changing lives, and we look forward to creating more millionaires this year," said Mabuza.
