LottoStar launched our first ever Gold Bar Giveaway in July 2022, where players had to participate in at least 4 Reel Jackpot Races to qualify. The first prize winner would walk away with a 1kg gold bar and second to 11th place win cash prizes of R10,000 each.

With our first Gold Bar Giveaway taking place on Wednesday, 13 July at 7PM, B.C made history by becoming our first ever 1kg gold bar (at the value of R934,685) winner. This was his heart-warming story after he had won.

How does it feel to win in our first Gold Bar Giveaway?


This is an exciting gift from God because of the financial situation I was in. I feel like my prayers have finally been answered. Although, I’m still in disbelief. I spent last night crying, praying and thanking God for this miraculous gift which came right on time.




Not at all. The giveaway did cross my mind; however, I was hoping for the R10,000 prize because that amount alone would have changed my life. Little did I know I’d take the grand prize. I never thought I’d win.

What was going through your mind during the Gold Bar Giveaway?


Well, firstly I had no data, so I had to use my girlfriend’s cellphone. Then halfway through the race, I received a text saying, “Congratulations”, which implied I had won something. When I saw the amount on my profile, I was in disbelief.I couldn’t even speak.




My business is in desperate need of a financial boost. The grand prize came in handy. I’m in the business of recycling scrap metal, with this money, I will now be able to settle my business debts, secure premises for my business, invest in a metal press machine. I also intend to share some of it with my mom and my local church that have always supported me when I was down.



Who was the first person you shared the news with?


As I mentioned, I was using my girlfriend’s phone, so obviously she was the first person who knew. I called my mom afterwards and asked that her not to tell anyone.
 

Yes, but it wasn’t a major win like this one.




I always try out several games, from Reel Rush to Roulette because LottoStar offers some of the most amazing games, it’s hard to choose.





This prize will change my life for the better. It came in at the right time, just when my business needs a boost. I intend on using wisely and to give to those in need.Thank you LottoStar for changing my life.



 is around the corner, on the 24 August 2022. Simply, participate in at least 4 Reel Jackpot Races to qualify for the Gold Bar Giveaway.

LottoStar’s 1st Gold Bar Giveaway Winner!

Imagine you have just won a major payout and you are faced with an enviable task of spending your newfound fortune? EuroMillions ran a survey on how the different genders spend their lottery winnings. So, how would you splurge your first windfall?

According to the survey, most women would splurge their windfall on designer shoes and jewellery. In the survey, 3,000 people were asked, ‘what would you buy if you won the jackpot?'. While men opted for luxurious cars like Aston Martin, Lamborghini, gadgets etc the ladies said that they would rather splurge on filling their closets.
According to the EuroMillions spokesperson, "The results showed the average woman would splash her winnings on £2,000 (R40,621) Christian Louboutin or 

“We wanted to give people the chance to think of things which are beyond their wildest dreams - the kind of things you could buy with a massive jackpot win. The two lists are fascinating - women seem to love the idea of owning designer fashion items, but have also included a few things which would make their homes more stylish. Men go straight for the transport and gadgets, wanting the very latest developments in technology and vehicles alike”, said a EuroMillions spokesperson.


Once-in-a-lifetime items like a Vera Wang, which averages $5,000 (R86,685) wedding dress ranked high on the list. What would you splurge on? Personally, I’d splurge on a week-long trip to St. Tropez, a Hermès mini Kelly bag and a Porsche 911.


Whether you want to buy tons of designer shoes or would like to invest more wisely, place your bets on the 

 draw which takes place every Tuesday and Friday night, at 20:00 in South Africa.

What’s on your lottery wish list? 

Good people deserve good things, especially when they win lottery prizes and become instant millionaires. While a number of people would rather spend their winnings on lavish houses and luxurious cars, there are some individuals who use their winnings to do good. Here are some stories on how some previous winners spent their prize.

 

A €216 million jackpot winner and a wish to save the planet


A lucky Frenchman, nicknamed ‘Guy’, won what was at the time, the highest EuroMillions payout of €216 Million (R3,7 Billion). He immediately knew what he was going to do with the prize.



"The minute I found out I was the lucky winner of the 

 I had the will to share my luck”, said Guy.


The majority of what he won was used to create the 

 Foundation, named after a town in the Ivory Coast, where he spent several years of his childhood. The foundation has three main goals which are – to protect and revitalize forests, preserve and regenerate biodiversity and support family caregivers.



$429 million jackpot used to fight poverty

After Pearlier Smith and her seven children won a massive $429 million (R7,3 Billion) betting on the USA Powerball draw in 2016, they did not spend it on real estate or fancy cars. Instead, after paying off their mortgage and student loans, they set up the Smith Family Foundation to provide financial funding for various organisations that aim to improve the lives of people in the city of New Jersey.



£115 million win made her "addicted to helping"


In anticipation of her 2019 EuroMillions jackpot win, Frances Connolly, made a list of all the friends and family she planned to give money to before the draw happened. She scooped a £115 Million (R2,3 Billion) fortune and gave away more than half of her winnings.

"It gives you a buzz and it's addictive.. "I'm addicted to it now”, said Frances.
