The R41 million Lotto jackpot has been claimed by one winner, confirmed by ITHUBA, the National Lottery operator. The winning ticket was bought via the Capitec banking app for just R30 through a manual selection[1][5].
The draw took place on Wednesday, 27 August 2025, as part of Lotto Draw 2571. The winning numbers for this jackpot were 3, 11, 17, 28, 44, 52 with the Bonus Ball as 48[1][4].
The jackpot totaled R41,541,454.50 for the lucky participant who matched all six numbers. The player’s win was made possible by correctly picking the winning combination and using a banking app—a growing trend among Lotto players[1][2].
According to ITHUBA, winners who play via banking platforms are directly notified by their respective bank. As of now, the winner’s identity and location remain undisclosed, and the prize is yet to be formally claimed at an ITHUBA office[1][2][5].
ITHUBA CEO Charmaine Mabuza congratulated the newest multi-millionaire and highlighted that buying tickets through banking apps or in-store provides equal chances of winning. The organization awaits the winner to initiate the secure claims process[1].
