A journey worth a million
Before we reveal the winner, let’s rewind to March 10, when this wild ride began.
We kicked off A Million & Change with one goal: to make one South African R1 million richer.
From the moment we made the announcement, the competition took over.
Listeners answered questions religiously every day, hoping to secure their shot.
Some of you became full-time strategists, setting reminders, double-checking your answers, and even manifesting your win (we see you, vision board creators).
Meanwhile, the East Coast Radio team fully embraced the millionaire mindset.
Danny Guselli jumped on a private jet (which, by the way, we’re still not sure how he managed).
The point is: we all got a taste of the good life. However, today it’s time to pass the crown to someone who actually earned it.
Meet South Africa’s newest millionaire!
Out of thousands of entries, our digital randomiser had one job: pick one name. Just one.
And after much anticipation, it did exactly that.
Drumroll, please…
The lucky winner of A Million & Change is...
Leon Geeringh from Pretoria!
Now, the big question: What will our winner do with this massive bag?
Will he buy a house?
Will he start a business?
Pay off his debts?
Go on the ultimate shopping spree?
Book a one-way ticket to the Maldives and send us all postcards?
One thing we do know is they'll also be helping to change more lives.
As part of A Million & Change, our winner also received R125,000 in change to donate to a charity of their choice, making this win even more meaningful.
To everyone who entered, played along, and made this competition unforgettable, a million thanks to you.
Just because you didn’t win this time doesn’t mean your moment isn’t coming.
Keep listening, keep engaging, and who knows? Next time, we could be calling you.
For now, though, let’s all take a moment to celebrate our newest millionaire.
Congratulations, Leon Geeringh!
Enjoy every single cent. You earned it.
