Winners

LottoStar celebrates the jackpot wins on our thrilling games in the Winners category of our exclusive blog.

Blog: News updates on recent winners 

Not every win is loud. Sometimes, the most powerful victories are the ones that quietly change lives. Not just for the person holding the winning ticket, but for everyone they choose to uplift along the way.

It’s in these stories that we see the true magic of winning: when joy is shared, hope is restored, and fortune becomes a force for good.

At LottoStar, we’ve always believed that true impact comes from sharing success. That’s why we created 

 – an initiative dedicated to transforming our communities. Through the Foundation, we support causes that matter across South Africa: from uplifting education in underserved communities to providing life-changing support for children living with disabilities, and so much more.

But the spirit of giving back isn’t limited to us. Around the world, there are stories of everyday people whose lives were transformed by massive wins — and who chose to transform the lives of others in return.

Like Tom Crist from Canada, who won over $40 Million (over R525 Million) and quietly donated every cent to cancer research in honour of his late wife. Or Colin and Chris Weir from Scotland, who won one of the biggest EuroMillions jackpots and went on to fund children’s medical treatments, support arts education, and donate millions to local charities.

There’s also the heartwarming story of an anonymous Australian couple who won $528 Million (over R6 Billion) and chose to use their fortune to help struggling farmers, support animal shelters and make anonymous donations to community projects across the country.

And then there’s the Dublin woman who, after winning €49 Million, didn’t spend it on yachts or jets but rather, quietly helped her friends and family wipe out debt and find their footing again.

These stories remind us that generosity doesn’t require grand gestures. It just requires heart.

Whether it’s helping a family rebuild, funding education, or supporting a cause that changes lives — these are the wins that leave a lasting legacy.

At LottoStar, we’re proud to be part of that story. Because when you win with us, you’re not just chasing your dream, you’re helping build someone else’s too.

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.

The madness may be over, but for Liza Clegg, it’s just the beginning.

After three weeks of epic wins, Golden Tickets, and unforgettable moments on Kfm 94.5, Liza emerged as the ultimate winner of LottoStar’s May Money Madness competition – walking away with a life-changing R1 Million in cash!

From Golden Tickets, gold bars to lucky scrolls, and a final showdown filled with suspense, but luck was on Liza’s side! Here’s what she had to say about the experience of becoming Cape Town’s newest millionaire:

What is it like knowing you’re Cape Town’s newest millionaire?

The feeling is unreal. I still cannot believe I won.


Not really. I just kept a positive attitude and manifested the best for myself.

Walk us through that final heart-racing moment?

The other two finalists got to pick their briefcases first, so mine was chosen for me. When we opened them, my heart was pounding. It was such a surreal moment!

Have you started planning how you’ll enjoy your winnings?

Not yet – I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I won! But it’s definitely a life-changing moment.

Was this the first LottoStar competition you’ve entered?

Which LottoStar game is your all-time favourite?

Any words of encouragement for those still chasing their big win?

There you have it – proof that your next big moment could be just one game away.

Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next from LottoStar. More thrills, more winners, and more chances to change your life – just like Liza.

And the winner is... Liza! 

Let’s be honest – when it comes to betting, a little luck never hurts. For many players, luck isn’t just left to chance. It’s carefully summoned through quirky habits, beloved charms and traditions that feel just right before placing that bet.

Whether it’s slipping on a lucky pair of socks, betting only on dates with your angel numbers or whispering a quick prayer before the game loads – betting superstitions are a whole vibe.




Ask any regular player and they’ll probably admit to a “thing” they must do before betting. Some of the most popular superstitions include:

Lucky Numbers: From birthdays to repeating digits, many swear that certain numbers just work for them and who are we to argue with a winning streak?

Lucky Charms: Think coins, crystals, bracelets or even a worn-out cap. If it’s brought you a win once, it’s practically sacred now.

Routines & Rituals: Some won’t place a bet without lighting a candle, reciting a mantra or sitting on their “winning” spot. Others hit play only at a specific time of day or after doing something specific, like taking three sips of water (yes, that’s a thing).

Dress Code for Luck: Believe it or not, certain outfits, especially underwear and socks get dubbed “lucky” after one good win. From that point on? They're practically game-day uniforms.

These habits may not come with a guarantee but for those who believe, it’s all part of the magic.

Superstition Meets Strategy
While some players rely on research and patterns, others blend it with a touch of intuition or let’s be honest, pure vibes. The mix of logic and luck is what makes betting such a thrill. Because hey, whether it’s the stats or your grandma’s lucky brooch guiding your choices, it’s all about the feeling that this might be your moment.

And sometimes, that feeling is spot on.



People around the world go all-in on luck. From lucky foods (hello, grapes at midnight) to not betting on certain days, belief runs deep. And if it makes the game more exciting? We're here for it.




So, what’s your pre-bet ritual? A lucky coin? A specific playlist? A deep breath and a hopeful heart?

Whatever it is, maybe now’s the time to test it because with LottoStar, your superstition might just lead you to a life-changing R75 Million payout.

Betting Superstitions: Lucky Socks, Secret Rituals

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

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.

 – 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.
