Blog: News updates on recent winners 

They started their new year with a moment that changed everything – a $1 Million (around R16,5 Million) lottery win.

Francis and Nick, a retired Australian couple, had only ever bought one lottery ticket before. That first ticket won them $14 (around R231). Instead of stopping there, they decided to take another chance together.

The win came with disbelief, then joy – the kind that’s shared quietly between two people who’ve spent years building a life side by side. It wasn’t loud or over the top. It was simply a moment where everything aligned.

For them, the thrill was in taking a chance together at the start of a brand-new year – a small, shared decision that became unforgettable.

With retirement giving them time to enjoy what matters most, they already know how they’ll celebrate: ticking off a long-held dream from their bucket list – a trip to Morocco. A place they’ve talked about for years, now ready to explore hand in hand, at their own pace.

This story reminds us that winning moments don’t always come from big plans. Sometimes, they come from simple choices, shared excitement, and the courage to try – together.

So, are you feeling lucky this February? Simply match 7 lucky numbers in 

 and you could win a life-changing payout of up to R22 Million – the perfect payout to share with someone you love.

Two Hearts, One Unforgettable Win.

Let’s be honest. You didn’t survive January. 

 You made the vision board. You saved the island inspo. You whispered 

 at least three times this year and now February is here, asking a very important question: 

Are we dreaming about luxury… or are we doing something about it?

 – LottoStar’s Slottery game that understands one simple truth: Luxury is not a want. It’s a 

Before you say it – yes, it’s pirate-themed. But relax. This isn’t dusty ships and missing teeth energy. This is modern treasure energy.

Spins that could unlock serious upgrades.

The real treasure? Options. Choices. Freedom. Because luxury resorts don’t accept 

Picture This: Caribbean, But Make It Unreasonable

If Caribbean Treasure had a mood board, it would look a little like this:

Private beach. Quiet luxury. The kind of place where your phone mysteriously stays on silent.

No cars. No stress. Just you, the sea and decisions about which cocktail comes first.

Where even the towels feel expensive and time stops respecting deadlines.

Caribbean Treasure isn’t about chasing luck. It’s about moving like someone who expects nice things.

Or simply remind you that luxury doesn’t always arrive via boarding pass.

. Someone is already planning a trip you haven’t even packed for yet. And the only difference? They took a chance.

Caribbean Treasure is waiting. The soft life is calling. And luxury? Luxury doesn’t wait. Spin the slots now.

January Starts with a Bang on New Year’s Bash

When you hear “inn,” you might picture a cosy place to stay for the night — a place to rest your head before you continue on your road trip. But with LottoStar’s Wealth Inn, it’s quite the opposite. Here, luxury checks in with just a spin of the slots.

Inspired by the opulence of our Wealth Inn Slot Game, we’re taking a tour through South Africa’s most glamorous escapes. Think sky-high suites, private villas, vineyard hideaways, and oceanfront sanctuaries.

The Silo Hotel, Cape Town – Where Art Meets Altitude


Towering above the V&A Waterfront, The Silo Hotel turns an old grain silo into a glass-and-steel masterpiece. Inside, it’s all velvet, art and natural light — with Table Mountain peaking from every angle of the hotel room. Whether you’re sipping champagne by your private plunge pool or dining at The Granary Café, The Silo whispers luxury in every detail.


Singita Lebombo Lodge, Kruger National Park – Untamed Opulence


The wild meets refined at Singita Lebombo, carved into the cliffs of the N’wanetsi River. Think of a sanctuary of glass walls and sweeping views of the cliffs and river. Expect candlelit dinners under starlit skies, elephants on the horizon and interiors that redefine “safari chic.” It’s the kind of place where nature and indulgence collide.


Babylonstoren, Franschhoek – A Harvest of Harmony


In the heart of the Cape Winelands, Babylonstoren proves that simplicity can be the ultimate luxury. Wander through orchards, sip wines produced at the estate and dine on farm-to-fork meals, surrounded by blooming gardens. It’s a retreat for those who find wealth in stillness and slow living.


Morukuru Ocean House, De Hoop Nature Reserve – Private, Perfect, Priceless


Some places are made to be shared — but not this one. At Morukuru Ocean House, the entire villa is yours: chef, staff and sweeping ocean views included. Wake to the sound of whales, explore the golden dunes and end your evenings around a firepit under infinite stars.


The Oyster Box, Umhlanga – Timeless Coastal Glamour


Perched beside the Indian Ocean, The Oyster Box is where elegance meets ease. Between the palm-framed pool, ocean-view suites and friendly staff to cater to your needs, treating you like that main character that you are. You can look forward to their famous curry buffet – a sensory feast of curries from around the world.


From vineyards to villas, these South African gems remind us that true wealth isn’t measured by money — it’s found in rare experiences, exquisite moments, and the feeling of being completely at ease.

Check into LottoStar’s Wealth Inn, where luxury meets fortune. Spin the slots for a chance to win up to R30 Million — your ticket to a well-deserved escape!

Wealth Inn Wonders: South Africa’s Most Luxurious Escapes

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and LottoStar’s Game of the Month for December, 

, is here to make your festive season even more wonderful.

Picture this: a village covered in snow, twinkling fairy lights, and slots that sparkle with every spin. It’s pure Christmas magic, right? You’ll spot glittering baubles, golden bells, shiny stars, and sweet candy canes dancing across your screen — each one bringing you closer to the festive fortune you’ve been wishing for.




Now, here’s where things get very merry! The Wild symbol steps in to substitute for all others and landing three or more Wilds anywhere on the slots, triggers a Free Spin bonus. You’ll receive 15 free spins (no retriggers, so make them count!).

During these free spins, every time you win with a Low Win symbol, it’s removed from the slots for the rest of the bonus – meaning fewer fillers and more chances to bag those big wins. Each Low Win symbol you collect fills up your Bonus Counter and when you’ve gathered three of each, the real fun begins.



The Prize Pick — The Gift That Keeps On Giving


The Prize Pick feature lights up the screen with twelve glowing Christmas trees. Tap to reveal what’s hiding underneath, and when you uncover three matching symbols, the round ends — but not before you snag one of these incredible prizes:

It’s the kind of bonus that makes every spin feel like opening a gift you didn’t even know you wanted!





Between the vibrant visuals and Christmas carols in the background, Happiest Christmas Tree captures everything we love about the holidays – warmth, excitement and a little bit of magic.

Give yourself the happiest gift of all – spin the slots on Happiest Christmas Tree and you could win payouts of up to R30 Million on our 

Unwrap Joyful Wins This Festive Season 

Shu! Can you believe we are almost at the end of the year? 2025 has been a whirlwind and we’re keeping the excitement going with our Game of the Month: 

.

Crazy Coin Flip is a perfect mash-up of a Slot Game and Live Game where players can accumulate multipliers in the three phases of the game but ultimately, players need to guess which side of the coin will be the lucky one. Red or blue?


Players start off in the Slot Game where they should aim to collect three scatter symbols to unlock the Live Bonus Game. Scatters often come with multipliers — and the higher you stack them, the better your chances in the next stage. Once you are qualified, all the multipliers from the scatter symbols are added together.
There are three spin modes in this round: Normal, XXXtreme and Super XXXtreme.


Once you’ve qualified, the pace picks up in the “against-the-clock” Top-Up round where you can boost the multipliers accumulated by lining up three matching coin symbols in the middle row. The more you collect, the bigger your chances of winning.


Now the real fun begins - we step into the Live Game of Crazy Coin Flip where the host generates more multipliers for both sides of the coin and they contribute to your total winnings. The big moment comes when the host pulls the lever to determine the winning side of the coin – red or blue. Players win according to the multiplier on the winning side of the coin.

Why You’ll Love Crazy Coin Flip
It’s the best of both worlds – slot thrills mixed with the unpredictability of a Live Game Show. Add in the excitement of a coin toss and you’ve got a game that is fun as it is rewarding.

And the bonus: when you bet on our Live Games, you could win payouts of up to R25 Million – instantly! So, what’s it going to be? Red or blue?
