According to Mabuza, there is an unclaimed ticket from May last year. The draw date was 29 May 2021, on Lotto draw number 2130.
The winner of this jackpot played via the manual selection with a wager of R40 in Carletonville, Johannesburg.
“Players have a period of 365 days to claim their jackpot prizes, from the date of the draw,” explained Mabuza.
Mabuza warns that the winner only has until 29 May 2022 to claim the winnings otherwise it will expire.
