What started as a dream turned into a life-changing reality for one lucky player, Mpho Khanye. Among 120 hopeful finalists holding a Golden Ticket, Mpho’s unwavering belief and fearless instinct carried her through every nail-biting round of LottoStar’s R1 Million Woza Win Grand Finale on Metro FM.

Her story is one of pure determination, hope, and the thrill of taking a chance.

Here’s what she had to say:

When you received one of 120 Golden Tickets – what was it like knowing you had a shot at R1 Million?

I was so excited. I couldn’t believe that I was the chosen one but at the same time, I always believed that when I came here, I’m going to make it.

What was racing through your mind during each nerve-wracking round?

As someone who’s been unemployed for a very long time, the only thing that was running through my mind was how much I needed to win this R1 Million for myself, my daughter and my family.

When you made it to the final three and chose your briefcase, how did you trust your instincts?

Deep down, I just knew it! I knew that one case was mine.

The moment of truth – how did it feel to become LottoStar's R1 Million Woza Win Grand Finale winner?

It feels so good to be a MILLIONAIRE! I’m so happy that I get to do a lot more than I couldn’t.

How do you plan on spending your big win?

My first focus would be to buy a car. I am definitely getting an upgrade – something more comfortable. Next would be to build a house for my family because I’ve always wanted to do that for a long time.

What is your go-to LottoStar game?

Aviator!
