A South African woman who won 5.2M Rands (CFA 174 Million) in the Lotto Plus 2 jackpot plans to donate some of her winnings to her church.
“I’m an avid churchgoer and as part of my way of giving back to the community I will donate some of my winnings to my church. I’m grateful for this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around me,” South Africa’s ‘TimesLive’ newspaper quoted the woman as saying.
Her win came from a R40 wager purchased in the South African city of Rustenberg for last Wednesday’s draw.
The overwhelmed winner, who wished to remain anonymous, played the same numbers across various National Lottery games
“When I saw I had won, I froze in shock. I couldn’t believe my persistence and faith finally paid off,” she said.
Expressing her relief at being able to pay university fees for her niece, she said this will enable her to pursue her dreams without anxiety about tuition fees.
