At first glance, everything looks completely legit, but after an article was released by IOL, Mzansi was outraged.
IOL reports that one person woke up on Wednesday morning a multi-millionaire after bagging the Powerball jackpot of almost R100-million.
The crucial information is that this win was secured on the FNB app.
This proves that the Tweep, @decent gent, was sharing fake news about his Powerball win.

SA definitely didn't fall for this user's game. Tweeps have been coming for him in the comments about this lie.
We have tried to make contact with the trickster, but no response yet.
Stay tuned to hear if he responds.
