Due to the 3rd wave of COVID-19 that has gripped South Africa, the healthcare system is experiencing immense pressure - both state and public sectors. It is not easy for many families, as they are unable to afford the medical treatments that their children need. State Hospitals are at full capacity and there’s not enough space.

To add to the already stretched healthcare system, Charlotte Maxeke Hospital, unfortunately, caught fire in April 2021, resulting in hospitals in the surrounding areas having to take on more pressure. One of those hospitals being the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital.

On average, the cost of care for a patient is R30,000 at Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. That includes a care package that consists of PJs, slippers, toiletries, toys (books, puzzles, crayons, and colouring books).

The day-to-day running’s of Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital are mostly privately funded. It also serves as a referral hospital for patients that cannot be assisted by state hospitals. Funds need to be raised to help more patients.

LottoStar’s donation of R67,000 will provide two surgeries for children in need at the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital.

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

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.

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

 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.

 so that she can finally receive joint replacement surgery on four fingers in her left hand. The donation forms part of the contributions from LottoStar’s How Lucky Can You Get? competition with 

From the age of 17, Kerry was diagnosed with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. She also suffers from osteoporosis. The swelling in her joints caused her to experience limb deformities which made it impossible for her to use her hands.

The original request to Good Morning Angels came from an angel named, Dr Helene Basson, from 

. In her request she states that before Kerry’s illness progressed, she used to work in the restaurant business – Kerry loves cooking and baking.

Since her diagnosis, Kerry is currently unemployed and receives a disability grant.

Kerry’s main hope after she receives her joint replacement surgery is to design gadgets for people with rheumatoid arthritis and other medical challenges. She would also like to be able to hold a dumbbell and do weight training.

Thanks to LottoStar and Operation Healing Hands, Kerry will receive joint replacement surgery which is scheduled for the 30th of June 2021 at Cure Day Hospital Erasmus. Kerry is excited and looks forward to finally being able to use her hands to do what she loves.

“There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return,” – Nelson Mandela.

This quote proves to be true for a group of selfless doctors and other medical professionals who founded Operation Healing Hands (OHH) with the hope of giving back to the community in commemoration of Nelson Mandela Day.

Operation Healing Hands is one of the selected charities in LottoStar’s 

 competition with Jacaranda FM, running between 14 June and 2 July 2021.


OHH is a non-profit organisation that was founded by a group of doctors and medical professionals with the aim of relieving pressure from government hospitals by providing free surgeries and post-operative care to the underprivileged. The organisation’s aim is to close the socioeconomic gap of patients that need life-changing surgeries in the private and public healthcare sectors.

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

Medical professionals involved volunteer their services while the private hospitals sponsor most of the theatre time and other medical processes required.

Other medical companies sponsor prostheses like hip and knee and other implants required at no cost to the patients.

Happiness of the leprechaun’s gold unleashed for 2 lottery winners on St. Patrick’s Day!

LottoStar launched our first ever Gold Bar Giveaway in July 2022, where players had to participate in at least 4 Reel Jackpot Races to qualify. The first prize winner would walk away with a 1kg gold bar and second to 11th place win cash prizes of R10,000 each.

With our first Gold Bar Giveaway taking place on Wednesday, 13 July at 7PM, B.C made history by becoming our first ever 1kg gold bar (at the value of R934,685) winner. This was his heart-warming story after he had won.

How does it feel to win in our first Gold Bar Giveaway?


This is an exciting gift from God because of the financial situation I was in. I feel like my prayers have finally been answered. Although, I’m still in disbelief. I spent last night crying, praying and thanking God for this miraculous gift which came right on time.




Not at all. The giveaway did cross my mind; however, I was hoping for the R10,000 prize because that amount alone would have changed my life. Little did I know I’d take the grand prize. I never thought I’d win.

What was going through your mind during the Gold Bar Giveaway?


Well, firstly I had no data, so I had to use my girlfriend’s cellphone. Then halfway through the race, I received a text saying, “Congratulations”, which implied I had won something. When I saw the amount on my profile, I was in disbelief.I couldn’t even speak.




My business is in desperate need of a financial boost. The grand prize came in handy. I’m in the business of recycling scrap metal, with this money, I will now be able to settle my business debts, secure premises for my business, invest in a metal press machine. I also intend to share some of it with my mom and my local church that have always supported me when I was down.



Who was the first person you shared the news with?


As I mentioned, I was using my girlfriend’s phone, so obviously she was the first person who knew. I called my mom afterwards and asked that her not to tell anyone.
 

Yes, but it wasn’t a major win like this one.




I always try out several games, from Reel Rush to Roulette because LottoStar offers some of the most amazing games, it’s hard to choose.





This prize will change my life for the better. It came in at the right time, just when my business needs a boost. I intend on using wisely and to give to those in need.Thank you LottoStar for changing my life.



 is around the corner, on the 24 August 2022. Simply, participate in at least 4 Reel Jackpot Races to qualify for the Gold Bar Giveaway.
