Johannesburg - Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the “gotta have it” scale. That is how US author Zig Ziglar’s saying goes. And many South Africans will be queuing on Saturday for a chance to win the guaranteed R25 million jackpot in this weekend’s Lotto draw with that thought on their minds.

The National Lottery raised its stakes for Saturday’s jackpot to celebrate its 15 years of existence.

National Lottery operator Gidani spokeswoman Dudu Ndendwa said the Lotto has produced six millionaires since January this year.

“One of these is a 36-year-old woman from Bloemfontein who walked away with the R13.9m jackpot on March 14,” said Ndendwa.

“The winner, who had never won anything before, invested R10 on a Lotto ticket with her own numbers… she will be going back to school and purchasing herself and her family a home.”
