Durban - A KwaZulu-Natal security guard is more than R33 million richer after bagging the Lotto jackpot this month.
The man, who bought the R45 winning ticket at Hollywood Bets in Durban, was at work when he found out that he had won, and thought he was dreaming. Before his big win, he said he had been living hand to mouth.
“I will ensure I never have to be poor again and will make sure my life is secured,” he said.
The man said he had never won anything before, and was now a true believer that people really do win the lottery.
He said he had been playing the Lotto since it began 16 years ago.
The money would be used to buy a house for his family and he would invest the rest.
