1.What was your first reaction when you realised you won over R1 Million in our Crazy Time?

I was shocked, I didn’t think it was real. I tried to watch the video afterwards. The thought that I won did not register at that moment.

2.Who was the first person you shared the exciting news with and what was their reaction?

I haven’t told anyone as yet. Once I have come to terms with it, I’ll share the news with my family.

3.What made you place a bet on Crazy Time?

I was playing for a while and I didn’t expect to win.

4.Do you know what you will be doing with your winnings?

No idea as yet, but I know part of it will go towards house renovations and I’ll probably save the rest.

5.What do you think of LottoStar and your overall experience?

It has been good. I have won before, but it wasn’t as big as this. I used those winnings to bet again. I lost it all. The second time when I won I told myself I’m going to be smart about this.

6.Did you ever think you would win the lottery one day?

Definitely not, the chances of me winning a prize or anything doesn’t work. I have very bad luck. Anything that I want I don’t get but anything that I don’t want, I get. This was a shock 

7.Will you continue to place bets on our Crazy Time & other lotteries on LottoStar?

Yes, I was actually on there now. Playing the same game.

8.Will you recommend us to your family or friends?

 have donated R50,000 to help Reece and his family. For the past six years, Reece from Benoni, has been fighting a brave battle. At the age of 10, he was diagnosed with a very rare disease called Gorlin Goltz Syndrome, for which there is no known cure in South Africa. Reece is one of only three known cases in South Africa and his is the worst.

Reece’s condition is also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome and is completely multi system. It has affected many of his body parts, tumours have formed mostly in his jaw. Over 40 tumours have had to be removed from his body. He also suffers from other auto immune diseases and conditions that increase the risk of him developing various cancerous and non-cancerous tumours.

Due to Reece’s deteriorating health, his mom has become his constant caregiver for the past three years. His dad is the only employed parent, having to pay for their medical aid and the hospital bills. However, the family is struggling to keep up with all the expensive medical bills and they have fallen into arrears of R39,000.

The electricity in their home has been cut, they must use a generator to keep Reece’s oxygen machine running at night. Reece is unable to survive a single night without his oxygen.

Reece hasn’t lost any of his fighting spirit. He is adamant to finish matric and become a game ranger. His dire condition has made it difficult for him to attend school for a few years but thanks to a tutor and his hard work, he has been able to catch up and is working on completing grade 10 this year. He is right on schedule.

Thanks to LottoStar’s How Lucky Can You Get? competition with Jacaranda FM, we have donated R50,000 to Reece and his family to help settle outstanding medical bills, pay for more CTs, X-rays and MRIs. The funds will also help pay for his major reconstructive surgery towards the end of the year to rebuild his jaw and sinuses.

Patients are provided with free surgeries and medical care through donations that the organisation receive. OHH also covers the medical expenses and services on behalf of patients.

These life-changing surgeries restore hope and give patients an improved quality of life so that they can get back to enjoying life, return to work and contribute to the economy once more.

Expenses covered by OHH on behalf of patients:

Consultations and pre-operative procedures

Surgeries (e.g. orthopaedics, otolaryngology, plastic and general surgery, ophthalmology, urology and dentistry)

In-hospital treatments, X-rays, and medication

Post-operative follow-up, medication, and treatment for a three-month period

Post-operative rehabilitation, including physiotherapy or prosthetics, if required
