In the spirit of Women’s Month – a time to honour the resilience, strength and courage of women across South Africa – 

, is proud to support a young woman whose bravery in the face of chronic illness has moved us all.

At just 26 years old, Miss Mothapo is enduring a battle many don’t even know exists. Diagnosed with severe endometriosis, she is fighting a painful condition that affects 1 in 10 women yet remains widely misunderstood and underdiagnosed. In her case, endometrial-like tissue has spread aggressively beyond her uterus, affecting both her ovaries – with cysts nearing 10cm in size and spreading to her pelvis and large bowel. If left untreated, the condition could lead to life-threatening complications, including ruptured cysts and a fully obstructed bowel.

But more than just a physical struggle, this illness has stolen so much from her. It has kept her from living the life every 26-year-old should be able to dream of – pursuing an education, working toward her goals and living with joy and independence. Instead, each day has been a battle against pain, fatigue and uncertainty.

To honour her strength and help change the course of her story, LottoStar is donating 

 toward her much-needed medical treatment. This contribution will help provide the surgical care and specialist treatment that Miss Mothapo urgently needs, giving her the chance to reclaim her health and future.

The amount contributed forms part of the money raised through our 

We believe no young woman should have to fight for the right to a pain-free life, especially not alone. We hope this support will not only help relieve her physical suffering but also reignite her hope – to return to school, to dream again and to live the full and vibrant life she deserves.

This Women’s Month, let us remember that true empowerment begins with compassion. Together, we can shine a light on silent battles and help turn stories of struggle into stories of triumph.

LottoStar, charity is our privilege, not an obligation.

Restoring Hope: LottoStar’s R100,000 Donation for Endometriosis Care

Sometimes, life’s biggest moments start with the smallest choices. For Nehal, a young mining apprentice with big dreams, it all began with something unexpected - a Golden Ticket email!



Picture this: A room electric with anticipation. Hearts racing. Dreams hanging in the balance and somewhere in the middle of it all, Nehal dared to believe that maybe his golden ticket would unlock R1 Million in cash.

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


"I was quite hesitant when I saw the subject line. But the moment I opened that email and saw the Golden Ticket, I was over the moon."


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


"My heart was pounding! But when I made it past the second round, I was grateful that I am still in the running, still chasing this incredible dream of R1 Million.


When you made to the final three and you got to pick the first briefcase. How did you trust your instincts?


"I'd been standing on the left throughout every single round – it felt like my lucky spot. So, when it came to that life-changing moment, I thought, 'One step to the left might be my step toward destiny.'"


The moment of truth – how did it feel to become LottoStar's R1 Million champion?


"Over the moon doesn't even begin to cover it. It was pure, overwhelming joy mixed with disbelief. Dreams I'd tucked away suddenly felt within reach."


How do you plan on spending your big win?


"Smart investing comes first – I want this blessing to keep growing. But I'm also treating myself to a well-deserved holiday. After working hard, it's time to breathe, celebrate, and soak in this win."


Any words of encouragement to other players?


"Take that leap of faith! Register, enter, believe. Your life-changing moment could be just one click away, just like me.



"Thank you, LottoStar, from the deepest part of my heart. You didn't just change my bank account, you gave me a new beginning. Dreams do come true.
