I missed the draw. I found out when I checked my rewards page. I even asked my son to double-check if I had really won!


I told my wife and both of my sons. It was such a special moment to share with them.

How do you plan on spending your winnings?


This win couldn’t have come at a better time. I plan to settle my bond and car payments—it’s all about financial freedom.

I am over the moon! Words can’t even express how happy I am. This was completely unexpected, especially since I am unemployed.

2. 


Not at all. I saw a post about LottoStar’s Summer of Millions giveaway, and I placed a bet to enter, not knowing I would be crowned a millionaire.




I didn’t catch the draw on Sunday. The next day when I was scrolling through social media I saw a winner’s post with my initials. I immediately checked my phone and saw an SMS from LottoStar telling me that I had won.




I have not told anyone yet. I intend to surprise my parents during this festive season. 




I am going to build my parents’ dream home. Currently, we do not have a place to call home.

Was this the first LottoStar competition/giveaway you entered?


This is the first competition I entered. I saw it on social media and loved how simple it was to enter.

It feels like a dream come true—so unreal, yet incredibly exciting to say that I’m officially a millionaire!



No, I never even thought I’d make it to the final round. But here I am and it’s surreal to have made it this far!


What was going through your mind during the last round?


I just thought I’ve made it this far in the competition, so whatever’s meant to happen will happen. When I saw gold in the cake, I immediately knew that I have just won the R1 Million grand prize.



Firstly, I want to pay off my debts, set a date to get married, finally spoil my kids and secure a better life for them.


Was this the first time entering a LottoStar competition?

Have you ever won anything before with LottoStar?


This was my first win with LottoStar and my winning streak has just begun. Fingers crossed!


My favourite LottoStar game is Balloon Race.



Anything is possible! At 26, I never imagined winning my first Million Rand. I encourage everyone to try their luck with LottoStar – I’m so grateful I did. Thank you, LottoStar, for making me the Western Cape’s newest millionaire!

 LottoStar crowns a brand-new Millionaire in Cape Town!

 proudly sponsored by LottoStar, celebrates Herman Bosman, who took on the challenge and walked away with R250,000!

Adapted from the popular quiz show, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”, contestants tackle a series of questions to secure the R1 Million cash prize. However, the road to riches is anything but easy.

Here's the low-down on the show:

 Six eager participants join each round, but only one gets the chance to answer each question. The tension builds as the clock ticks.

There are 4 possible answers to a question. Contestants need to answer the correct option.

Once a player is ready to commit, they declare, “This is my final answer.” This moment is pivotal—there’s no turning back.

 The correct answer means that they have won a cash prize and the goal is to reach the R1 Million goal.

The amount of cash offered increases and so does the difficulty of the question.

Not every question comes with an easy answer. If a player is unsure or unwilling to risk it all, they can choose to walk away with the money they’ve accumulated. In a final twist, the host will ask what their answer had been, revealing if they would have chosen correctly.

A huge congratulations to Herman Bosman on winning R250,000. 

Tune in to “

” on Kyknet, channel 144 on DStv, and see if the next contestant has what it takes to join the ranks of South Africa’s millionaires.

As the proud sponsor of the show, LottoStar is all about making dreams come true. Whether through sponsoring thrilling TV shows or our vast array of live games, we offer countless opportunities for players to win big.

With over 650 games available, you too could become a multi-millionaire in an instant. Place your bets and you could win payouts of up to R75 Million – instantly!

How does it feel to be SA’s NEWEST Millionaire?


I am quite excited about my BIG win as it came out of nowhere. I still cannot believe it.

What was your reaction when you saw the win?


It all happened so fast! I was on a work call and I placed a bet in the background. It started with a small R70 win. I decided to activate the auto-bet feature on the game while I focused on my work. And then, out of nowhere—BOOM! My screen lit up with R1.8 Million!

Did you have a feeling that you’d win? 

Not at all! I had no idea this was coming. I wasn’t expecting anything major, especially since I was casually betting while multitasking. I’ve always enjoyed the thrill, but this completely blindsided me—in the best possible way!


Not yet! I’ve been keeping this incredible secret to myself, but I intend on telling my sister first.


I’m not quite sure yet. I want to enjoy the moment and let it sink in first before making any big plans.




Daily Ka-Ching is definitely at the top of my list! I love the rush and the possibility that you could win big at any moment. I’m also a huge fan of the ScratchCard games, especially Golf GTI and Toyota Hilux.
