LOTTO’S YOUNGEST MILLIONAIRES CREATED Monday, the 21st of July 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOTTO has created its youngest millionaires to date. This came after a
syndicate comprising two members aged 18 and 20 won Saturday’s R6 million
Jackpot. The two winners were still stunned with disbelief when they claimed
their newfound fortune at Uthingo’s Cape Town office earlier in the week. “My
girlfriend and I decided to play R20 as a couple. This was only the third time
that she had played. She chose our numbers randomly. Wherever her hand stopped
on the coupon, there she ticked off a number. Now I truly know that this is a
game of chance,” the young man told Uthingo’s Winners Advisor. The Cape Town
couple was sitting together watching the live draw when their numbers appeared
on the screen. “We checked our numbers together, so every time a number was
drawn we looked at each other and thought, what if. “No words can describe how
we felt when we saw that we matched all six numbers in one line. Then we
started working out how much we would win, should several people share the
Jackpot. We didn’t really care. When you are our age, any money will do. “I
called the telephone number on the back of the ticket after a while and they
told me that only one ticket matched the winning numbers. My heart almost
stopped,” he said. They are not yet sure what they will be doing with their
money but they do know that with the number of years ahead of them, investing
wisely will be the best option. “If we are smart and invest our money properly,
we’ll be set for the rest of our lives. If you had to ask any young person what
he/she would do with R6 million they would probably tell you a fancy car and a
mansion would be priority. We will take the financial advice offered by Uthingo
and invest. We would also both like to further our studies and, being able to
pay for it ourselves, we will study what we are passionate about,” he
concluded. The R6 million Jackpot prize won by the Cape Town couple, brings the
total number of LOTTO prizes worth a million Rand or more won in the Western
Cape to thirty-five. ends
