KZN’s R5m jackpot winner still at large!
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
From R5 to R5 million! The National Lottery Ithuba is looking for the R5 million jackpot winner from KZN.

KZN – could you be sitting on a R5 million fortune without even knowing it?
The National Lottery Ithuba is on the lookout for two lucky Lotto winners from the February 12, 2025 draw, each walking away with an incredible R5.3 million jackpot.
One lucky winner, who bought their ticket at Shoprite Checkers in KZN, has yet to come forward. Could it be you? Could your R5 ticket be the key to a life-changing fortune?
Ithuba confirmed that both winning tickets were manually selected, proving once again that sometimes, trusting your gut might just be the ultimate Lotto strategy.
While one lucky winner in Mpumalanga is probably already celebrating, the KZN millionaire is still in the wind.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza encouraged all players to check their tickets ASAP.
"We are thrilled to have two winners who took a chance with small wagers and hit the jackpot. We urge all players to check their tickets and come forward to claim their prize,” she said.
