A Cape Town man who makes a living as a street vendor has won the R86 million Lotto jackpot.
National lottery operator Ithuba said the man came forward to claim his winnings after realising on Sunday that he had won from a ticket he bought at Shoprite in Durbanville. He had played via the manual selection.
The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, said that he had dreamed of winning his whole life, but the most he had ever won was R450.
The new multi-millionaire from Cape Town came forward on Sunday after realising that he had won from a ticket he bought at Shoprite in Durbanville ahead of the 3 September draw.
“We prayed and thanked the Lord. Only my wife and children know that we have won,” he said.
“I play the Lottery twice a month, and I mix my numbers each time I play. This time around, I specifically played Lotto and not the other games, as I went with my gut feeling,” he said.
When asked what he would do with the money, the man said he will build a house for his family.
