Has anyone won the PowerBall online in South Africa?

Playing lotteries online has grown extremely popular amongst players in recent years as players now have access to lotteries from all over the world regardless of where they live. That means you no longer need to live in the US to enter the huge Mega Millions or USA Powerball draws, and don’t have to travel all the way to Europe to enter EuroMillions or Eurojackpot. Instead all you need to do now is go on the internet from your phone or computer and you can easily buy tickets online.

The rise in popularity of playing world lotteries from your own home as also resulted in some huge jackpots being won online, in both South African lotteries and those in Europe and the USA. Check out the winning stories below for some huge online lottery wins.

A Kuwaiti player, entering only his fifth draw online, walked away with a share of the Daily Lotto Jackpot on 7 July 2019 and found himself R118,865.50 richer overnight. When contacted about his win, the anonymous player said “I didn’t expect that! I’m so excited, I don’t know what to do!”. At the time of winning the player was looking for a loan to help finance his wedding, but said the jackpot win would now mean he can pay everything off straight up and just look forward to enjoying the day. R118,685.50

This online jackpot win was the first of its kind in the short history of Daily Lotto after the first draw took place in March 2019. Whilst there have been many jackpot wins from players buying a ticket from a retailer in South Africa, this win set a precedent that anyone can enter Daily Lotto online and win the jackpot amount.
