Fortune Frenzy with Jacaranda FM: Win Big and Give Back!

Hold on tight – LottoStar’s May Money Madness competition with 

 is back and as usual, we are serving thrills, big wins and supporting a good cause. LottoStar is giving you a chance to win your share of R1 Million in cash from 12 - 31 May 2025 – every weekday! This competition isn’t just about winning big but also about giving back and showing up for the communities that need us most.

Here's the low-down on how to get in on the action:

 by answering an easy LottoStar question.

If you don’t have one already, register for a LottoStar account and place a bet on the stipulated bet dates.

If Kfm 94.5 calls and you answer, you will instantly win R2,500.

If you’ve placed a bet on lottostar.co.za, you could win up to R250,000 in cash, four times a day, playing our weekly games, live on air.


You could win a Golden Ticket — and walk away with R1 MILLION in cash in the grand finale.

If you score a Golden Ticket, you’ll find it waiting on your Rewards page!


At LottoStar, giving back is part of our DNA. In our 2025 edition of our May Money Madness competition with Kfm 94.5, we are proud to support 

– an organisation committed to raising awareness about organ donation and making it easier for South Africans to become donors. 

Over 4000 South Africans are currently waiting for life-saving organ transplants. Yet, every year, countless viable organs are buried, simply because only a few people are registered as donors. In fact, less than 0,2% of the population are organ donors – a heartbreaking statistic that Save7 is working tirelessly to change.

The organisation’s name is rooted in its powerful slogan – “You can save 7 lives in just one minute”. That’s how long it takes to register as an organ donor.

After witnessing patients pass away due to a shortage of donors, Stellenbosch medical students founded Save7 to spark change. Since then, the organisation has reached over 2 million people through awareness campaigns, partnerships and incentivised sharing.


However, Save7 goes beyond raising awareness by building systems that streamline the donor-to-transplant process, including a voice-based “time capsule” that allows individuals to record their wish to become a donor, providing clear proof for their families.

Each year, Tygerberg Hospital loses up to 100 transplantable organs because of inadequate preservation facilities. To help change this, Save7 repurposed an unused hospital room into the LifePod – a cutting-edge donor ICU located beside the theatre complex. This incredible achievement was made possible thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters.

Save7 also runs support groups for patients on dialysis or awaiting transplants, ensuring they’re seen, heard and supported while they wait for their second chance at life.


Not only will our May Money Madness competition be a vibe, but it will also be supporting a life-changing cause. So, enter, register and bet to be part of something life-changing.

May Money Madness – a win for you, a win for charity!

How does it feel to be Gauteng’s NEWEST millionaire?


I flew all the way from Cape Town to Johannesburg and entered both competitions—by pure luck, I made it to 947! I'm absolutely over the moon about this big win!



Absolutely! I'm very superstitious and I kept seeing signs that this was meant to happen. I chose the 11th ScratchCard in round 3, inspired by my favourite scripture and here we are now.


Tell us about the final, nail-biting moment!


When it came down to the final round, the other two contestants got to pick their cakes first and I was left with the last one. In my heart, I knew that the last cake was meant for me—and I was right! Seeing that burst of gold confetti after cutting it open was an unforgettable moment. Flying to Joburg from Cape Town turned out to be the best decision ever.


How do you plan on spending your winnings


I plan to use the money to make life easier for my family in every way I can.


Was this your first LottoStar competition?


Yes, this was the first radio competition I entered.


Ever hit the jackpot before with LottoStar?

Jacqueline’s Fortune Frenzy: A Sweet Pick That Won Her R1 Million

And the winner is... Liza! 

Our Mega winner is CACHE-ing out in style. 

A Golden Win for A.H 

LottoStar’s Mega Winner Bags R28.6 Million on Slot Game 

 are proud to help a brave little girl get the surgery she urgently needs, giving her a second chance at growing up pain-free and healthy.

Eight-year-old Zelné is the youngest of three daughters of single mom, Annetjie Potgieter. Earlier this year, Zelné fell ill and what doctors first thought was appendicitis turned out to be something more serious. Upon further scans, it was discovered that she was suffering from choledochal cysts on her liver, which is a rare condition that can lead to serious complications if untreated.

It was recommended to have the cyst removed along with the girl's gallbladder and part of her small intestines to construct her bile ducts.

For mom Annetjie, this was not only an emotional challenge, but a financial one too. As a single mother without medical aid, she managed to raise R131,000 for young Zelné's surgery. However, the surgery total is R209,138, leaving a shortfall of over R78,000.

With her surgery scheduled for 19 August 2025, LottoStar will be covering the outstanding amount of R80,000 needed for Zelné’s surgery through Good Morning Angels.

The contribution forms part of LottoStar's Fortune Frenzy competition with Jacaranda FM - made possible by our players.

LottoStar, charity is our privilege, not an obligation.
