White sandy beaches, clear blue waters and a cocktail in hand. Sounds like a dream, right? With LottoStar’s Win a Private Island, this could be your reality.

We all need a break from everyday life and what better way to escape than to a tropical paradise where your biggest decision is which bikini to wear? Whether you’re all about luxury or you’re laidback, there’s an island destination with your name on it.

Here are some of the hottest spots that feel like pure paradise:



Bali, Indonesia – The Boho-Chic Getaway


Bali is where relaxation meets adventure. Picture yourself strolling through the lush Ceking rice terraces, enjoying a floating breakfast in a private pool villa, or vibing at a trendy beach club. Whether you’re catching waves in Uluwatu or snapping the perfect Instagram shot at the iconic Bali Swing, you’ll be soaking in the island vibes.



Tulum, Mexico – Instagram’s Favourite Escape


Tulum is where adventure meets luxury. Swim in crystal-clear cenotes, explore ancient Mayan culture or just relax at a trendy beach resort. Sunrise yoga and sunset cocktails, Tulum is the definition of vacation goals.



If you love breathtaking views, amazing food and a little history, Amalfi is the place to be. Picture colorful cliffside villages, delicious Italian pasta, sipping Limoncello and yacht trips to Capri. Amalfi looks like it’s straight out of a postcard.



The Maldives is in a league of its own. Overwater villas, crystal-clear lagoons and the kind of peace that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. Whether you’re into diving, spa days or just pure relaxation, this is the place.



Santorini is all about white-washed buildings, iconic cliffside architecture and the most unreal sunsets. Sip on local wine while overlooking the Aegean Sea, wander through the streets or chill at the Black Sand Beach.

Why dream about an island escape when you could win one? You could with LottoStar’s

Win A Private Island - your island escape awaits 

Winning big is a dream come true for most of us. With a long list of things to buy, places to go and goals to achieve, the possibilities are endless. What if you had the chance to change lives with your fortune? Would you share your winnings to support a cause close to your heart?

For some, generosity is at the top of their winning to-do list. Here are a few inspiring jackpot winners who chose to give back:



Frances Connolly, an Irish winner who scooped £115 million (over R2,6 Billion) in 2019, didn’t just change her own life, she changed the lives of thousands. She and her husband agreed to set aside a yearly portion of their winnings for charity, but Frances didn’t stop there. She established two charitable foundations dedicated to enriching lives in the Northeast community. Her generosity has only grown, proving that winning big means you can give big.

Barbara & Ray – Small Upgrades, Big Impact


After winning £7.6 Million (over R173 Million), Sheffield couple Barbara and Ray could have splurged on lavish lifestyles. Instead, after a few home improvements, a new car, and a cruise, they became local philanthropists. Their most touching contributions? A major hospital donation and covering the living expenses of two World War II veterans. Their generosity even earned them an invitation to Buckingham Palace.



Peter’s Wedding Wheels – Luxury for a Cause

Retired bus driver, Peter, hit the jackpot with £13.5 Million (over R309 Million) and indulged in a fleet of luxury cars, including Bentleys, BMWs and Land Rovers. Instead of keeping them all for himself, he put them to good use. It all started during the COVID-19 pandemic when he heard about a bride struggling to afford a wedding car. Peter stepped in, personally chauffeuring her in his Bentley. Since then, he has continued offering free luxury rides to brides who can’t afford to rent luxury cars.



Anonymous Jackpot Winner – A Heart for Education

A big winner from China, who still works as a scrap collector, won $12 Million (over R220 Million) but kept only 40% for himself. The rest? He funded the education of 20,000 children from poverty-stricken backgrounds. Choosing to remain anonymous, his quiet generosity continues to transform countless lives.

Winning big doesn’t just change your life but it can change the world. If luck is on your side, how would you make a difference? Place your bets on LottoStar today for a chance to win a payout of up to R75 Million! Who knows? You might just be able to support a cause close to your heart.

Chase Gold in Rainbow Mania - Game of the month 

February was all about bold moves, tough choices and wins as some of Mzansi’s biggest stars took the hot seat on Deal or No Deal Celebrity, proudly sponsored by LottoStar, Your World of Live Games.

With giving back at the heart of the game, these celebs faced the Banker, hoping to secure a win for worthy causes.

Here’s a look at the unforgettable moments from February:



The Gqom Queen played with confidence, rejecting the Banker’s offer in hopes of something bigger. The shocker was that briefcase 15 was hiding R250,000! Still, Babes walked away with R60,150 for Muthande Society for the Aged, an organization dedicated to supporting the elderly socially, economically and physically.



Pearl made power moves and they paid off! She secured the ultimate R250,000 prize for Tshepang Care Centre, a beacon of hope for vulnerable individuals in Tembisa. For the scoop on Pearl’s big win, click here.



Mpho Popps brought laughs and he walked away with R35,220, but the real twist was that he turned down a R100,000 deal from the Banker! A tough call, but hey, a win is still a win and P.U.S.H (Persevere Until Something Happens) will benefit greatly. This community-based organization serves as a day care facility for orphaned and vulnerable children.



With his cool, calm and collected demeanor, Zulu Makhathini locked in R118,000 for Thanda, an organization creating lasting change. Their Community Centre is a safe space for children, featuring a library, an Early Childhood Development Centre and a digital lab. Zulu’s win will go a long way to empowering young minds.

Mzansi's Celebs Take on the Banker for Charity

Winning a life-changing payout is often seen as the key to a better life, but some winners took a more unique approach to spending their newfound fortune. From fireworks factories to racehorses, these lucky individuals turned their winnings into the ultimate “what were they thinking?” moments.




Imagine celebrating every day with a display of fireworks. One winner, Debbie, did just that—she bought an entire fireworks factory! Apparently, she wanted to make sure the sky was always lit up with her joy. We bet her neighbours were thrilled. 



Sarah didn’t just treat herself after her big win, she took it to the next level. Instead of buying herself something extravagant, she used part of her winnings to gift her sisters with breast enhancement surgeries. Now that’s a boost!




A UK-based lottery winner aimed to turn his dreams into reality with racehorses and fast cars. Though the journey didn’t go as planned, he had the opportunity to experience life in the fast lane and live out his passions to the fullest.




David took "buying property" to an entirely new level. He purchased land on the moon! We don’t know about you but that seems like a bit much, even for a billionaire. Maybe he’s just paving the way for his next lunar getaway?




One winner went all out and spent his lottery winnings on extravagant gifts for his ex-wife, trying to win her back. Maybe not the smartest move—especially since he ended up broke again and his ex-wife remarried.

Your wildest dreams could be just one bet away! Whether it’s fast cars, exotic adventures or anything your heart desires, LottoStar gives you the chance to make it all come true. Place your bets now and you could win payouts of up to R75 Million – instantly!

When it came time to choose her briefcase, Pearl opted for briefcase 18, a sentimental choice tied to her son’s birthday. Tensions rose as the banker tried to sway her with offers of R7,350 , R18,400 and R150,000 but with boldness, Pearl rejected both offers, keeping her eyes on the big prize.



As the game progressed, one of the briefcases revealed a staggering R50,000, sending gasps through the studio. Yet Pearl never wavered. Her bold strategy paid off when her chosen briefcase, number 18 was opened to reveal the grand prize: R250,000. Shouts of joy erupted and Pearl’s emotional connection to the cause made the victory even sweeter.
