And just like that… the madness is over! LottoStar’s May Money Madness competition on Kfm 94.5 has come to an end and what a ride it’s been!

Over the past three weeks, we’ve seen wild twists, unforgettable moments and huge wins. Speaking of big wins our incredible players won a total of R522,750 and you raised R1,067,500 for Save7, a life-changing organisation doing extraordinary work.

 is built on one powerful idea: one organ donor can save seven lives.|

They’re not just raising awareness; they’re revolutionising the donor process in South Africa. From creating support networks for patients waiting on transplants, to launching the Time Capsule, a voice note that allows potential donors to share their final wishes with loved ones. Save7 is making it easier for hope to become action.

Every rand raised will go toward a cause that truly saves lives – the LifePod, a specialised donor ICU opening at Tygerberg Hospital on 4 June 2025. After 18 months of planning, this facility is finally becoming a reality.




When someone is declared brain dead and becomes an organ donor, they need to remain on life-support for 36 hours. With limited ICU beds, up to 100 transplantable organs are lost every year at Tygerberg alone. The LifePod will change that by creating space, time, and possibility for more life-saving transplants to happen.

Thank You, Western Cape!
We couldn’t have done it without you. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next – more games, more wins, and more chances to make a real difference.
