LottoStar contributes R100,000 towards 14-year-old Felicity Ncube’s operation, who has been diagnosed with severe scoliosis, a painful curvature of her spine. Through Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels, we stepped in to support Felicity and ensure she receives the care she needs.

Felicity was born without arms or legs and was left abandoned shortly after birth by her family. A painful start to her life.

Soon after being abandoned, Felicity was found and placed at Tshwane Haven Children’s Home, a place of safety and love for abandoned children. Despite being born without arms and legs, Felicity has learned to move around independently, hopping and using her wheelchair to navigate life on her own terms.

However, life presented her with yet another challenge. She is currently battling a severe spinal curvature (scoliosis) that threatens her mobility unless she undergoes urgent surgery.

With the help of compassionate doctors and medical professionals who have offered their services pro bono, Felicity will soon get surgery to correct her spine, which will also give her a real chance at a pain-free, independent future.

She aspires to be a motivational speaker, sharing her story with schools and communities to demonstrate that harsh circumstances don’t define one's destiny. Felicity has faced unimaginable odds with strength and grace, and we at LottoStar are proud to support her every step of the way.

The contribution forms part of the funds raised through our Fortune Frenzy competition on Jacaranda FM.

We wish Felicity all the best with her surgery and recovery.

LottoStar – Charity is our privilege, not an obligation.

LottoStar Empowers 14-Year-Old to Overcome Mobility Odds

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. 

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.

Any words of encouragement to other players?

Keep placing your bets. It’s all about luck. You’ll never know your fate, but keep playing.

From a Golden Ticket to a million-rand victory, Mpho Khanye’s story is proof that belief and a bit of luck can change everything. Her win marks a new beginning. One filled with hope, gratitude, and endless possibility.

Congratulations once again to Mpho Khanye, our R1 Million Woza Win Grand Finale winner! To her, this win means more than money. It’s a fresh start for her and her family.

You could be next! Place your bets and you could stand a chance to win up to R75 Million in payouts in over 800 games.

Woza Win: From a Golden Ticket Winner to Mzansi’s Newest Millionaire

Our thrilling Woza Win competition on Metro FM has come to an end – and true to LottoStar’s style, the biggest win is changing lives.

For three exciting weeks, South Africans tuned in, played thrilling games live on air and celebrated their wins. But behind winning big, something far more meaningful was taking shape. Together, our players helped raise R951,750 for 

 – an organisation dedicated to making sure that no learner faces the school day on an empty stomach.

Every morning, across South Africa, the Foundation serves nutritious breakfasts to learners in vulnerable communities. It’s a simple act with a powerful ripple effect. A meal at the start of the day doesn’t just fill a stomach – it fuels focus and gives every child an equal chance to learn, grow and dream.

The Foundation’s impact reaches further than the classroom. Those who prepare and serve the meals gain skills and experience that strengthen their prospects for employment, we have witnessed this with their partnership with

. Together, they’ve launched a five-year In-School Breakfast Programme across eight schools in the Ehlanzeni District of Mpumalanga, ensuring more learners start their day with the nourishment they need to take on the day.

Thanks to the funds raised during our Woza Win competition, the Foundation will be able to feed 1,561 learners for an entire year at Sefako Makgatho Primary School. That’s 1,561 young minds starting each morning with the energy to take on the day.

At LottoStar, we’ve always believed that winning should mean more – that every spin, bet or entry should have the power to change lives. And with your participation, it has.

To everyone who entered our Woza Win competition – thank you. You’ve helped turn a simple game into a force for good. Because when we play with purpose, South Africa wins too.

Until our next competition, explore Your World of Games by placing a bet on over 800 games and you could win instant payouts of up to R75 Million.

 Woza Win: Serving Wins, Changing Lives

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?

Picture this: you’re marrying your ex (again), taking the dog for a walk between the ceremony and the reception, when you discover a lottery ticket tucked away in your pocket for years. Sounds like a scene straight out of a rom-com, right? This actually happened.

Saying “I do” is nerve-wrecking enough – especially for the second time. Now add remarrying your ex and taking the dog for a stroll between the ceremony and reception. In the middle of it all, he reached into his pocket and found a life-changing lottery ticket that had been there for years. Carrying that crumpled ticket throughout the reception must have been tense. When he finally checked it, it was worth £1 Million (around R23 Million).

Safe to say his bride forgave him for disappearing on their wedding day, especially since she was now off to Venice for their honeymoon. Talk about getting lucky twice!

You know who else can get lucky? You! Take a spin on LottoStar’s very own 

 – you could win payouts of up to R10 Million, instantly!

Life just got a whole lot sweeter for AK! With LottoStar, every spin is a chance to change your story and AK’s spin on 

 did just that, unwrapping a R3.6 Million win.



Here’s what she had to say about her big win:

How does it feel to be South Africa’s newest millionaire?


"It’s surreal. I’ve won on LottoStar before, but nothing like this – this is my biggest win ever!"


What was your reaction when you saw the win?
“I laughed, I gasped, I couldn’t believe it. I thought there was a mistake at first! Then I realised — this is real, and my life is about to change.”



“Not at all, especially from a single spin”



“I have not told anybody yet; they will just be surprised with little gifts I will be buying for them.”



“This win came just in time as I was planning for the festive season. I’m planning to pay off some debts, invest a portion, and treat my family to something special. And maybe a little holiday to celebrate — it’s time to enjoy life a bit more.”


Nuwa and Gummy Giga Match Privé now – it’s officially my lucky game!"


“Yes, I have, however this is my biggest win to date. Many more to come.”


“Just have fun with the games, stay positive, and believe that you 

 win. You never know – your next spin could change everything!”

Sweet Fortune: A.K's R3,6 Million Win

So, you’ve probably heard the buzz around 

 – the game where a single round can turn into sky-high wins of up to R50 Million. Sounds unreal, right? Well, not for these recent millionaires:

What could you do with that kind of money, or what couldn’t you do with it?

Picture swapping your hatchback for an SUV, turning your mom’s kitchen into a chef’s dream, or even just paying off those bank loans that you have been side-eyeing for years. With millions in the bank, you’re officially the main character.

For some, winning millions from betting could mean finally moving out of their parents’ homes into their own gated community. For others, it’s about moving abroad, seeing the Eiffel Tower in real life, or relaxing at one of Stellenbosch’s fanciest wine farms instead of just scrolling through travel reels on Instagram.

 hits differently is because it’s more than just a game. It’s a chance to flip the script on your life. One bet, however, could mean financial freedom and an end to life’s stresses.

Winning a big payout could literally happen at any moment with our 

. It’s a fast-paced and adrenaline-packed crash game and has already paid out over R675 Million in September alone.

N.M., N.P., D.M., and S.J. aren’t just names. They’re proof that the 

 dream is alive and that a single bet can change your life in seconds.

Whether you’re a first-time flyer or a seasoned player, 

 is for you. Bets start from just R1, which means even if you’re running on “Mampara-month” money, you could still catch the winning flight before it takes off with payouts of up to R50 Million.

Flying High: What Life Could Look Like After an Aviator Win

We’ve wrapped up Big September in the best way possible – with a brand-new millionaire in town! Meet Noluthando Zwane, a single mom of 5 from Soweto, whose life has been turned upside down in the best way possible – thanks to LottoStar!

For Noluthando, the journey from receiving a Golden Ticket to becoming a millionaire was nothing short of a dream come true. Here’s what she had to say about her unforgettable experience:


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


When I saw the Golden Ticket in my emails, I was quite sceptical. But once I got the call confirming all the details, it sank in that I could be a millionaire.


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


It was all a blur of nerves and excitement. The moment I got the gold sticker in the vinyl, it clicked that I made it to the final round.


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


I just trusted my gut. Something told me that the middle turntable was the one. I just had a feeling that was the one to unlock my win.


The moment of truth - how did it feel to become LottoStar's R1 Million Big September Grand Finale winner?


I was over the moon – a dream come true. I can finally achieve the goals I have set for myself and give my family the life that they deserve.


How do you plan on spending your big win?


I can finally purchase a home for my children – this win is life-changing for so many people close to me.


Any words of encouragement to other players?


Keep entering our LottoStar competition and keep betting, your win will come.
