The winner of the R102 million Powerball jackpot is proof that prayers can be answered.
The man, from Mpumalanga, had been praying for R15m - an amount he believed would help him build a sustainable business for his family - and on Wednesday he claimed his win.
All it took was R100.
The winner, who bought the ticket on the FNB banking app, said: "Winning R102 million is far beyond my expectations. It feels like a prayer answered many times over. I am ecstatic. It still feels like a dream that I will soon wake up from.“
He said he would donate a significant amount to an orphanage.
The man has been a regular National Lottery participant; previously winning R70 000.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said: “I had the privilege of meeting the winner, and I can confidently say this jackpot has gone to someone with a clear vision for his future. Our goal is to provide life-changing jackpots that can secure winners and their families for generations. I have no doubt that he will use his winnings wisely."
Winnings are tax-free and paid out within 72 hours of a valid claim.
