ITHUBA is still looking for TWO unclaimed Lotto jackpot winners.

ITHUBA the organization overseeing South Africa's national lottery, is urgently seeking winners of two Lotto draws to claim their prizes before expiration.

A prize of R5,433,073 won on January 14, 2023 remains unclaimed until January 14 2024. Another prize of R3,495,804 from the Lotto Plus 1 draw on February 25, 2023 must be claimed by February 25, 2024 to avoid forfeiture.

It's unfortunate to hear that two Lotto jackpot winners haven't come forward to claim their prizes yet. Winning such a substantial amount of money is a life-changing event, and it's vital for the winners to be aware of their good fortune and take the necessary steps to collect their prizes.

For the prize won on January 14, 2023, the winner has until January 14, 2024, to claim the R5,433,073. That's still a few months away, but it's crucial for the person to act promptly. They should gather all the necessary documents and visit the nearest ITHUBA office or a designated prize payout center as soon as possible. It's best to call the ITHUBA helpline or visit their website to get further guidance on the specific documentation required.

Regarding the R3,495,804 prize from the Lotto Plus 1 draw on February 25, 2023, the winner has until February 25, 2024, to claim it. That's also ample time, although it's never too early to start the process. As with the previous winner, they should contact ITHUBA and follow their instructions regarding required documents and the location of their nearest office or payout center.

ITHUBA is likely making significant efforts to locate the winners, such as public announcements and media campaigns. However, it's important for anyone who may have bought a Lotto ticket around those dates to double-check their numbers and verify if they are indeed the lucky winners. Sometimes people forget or misplace their tickets and may not even be aware that they hold the winning numbers.

In situations like this, I would strongly recommend that the winners consult trusted financial advisors or legal professionals to ensure they make the best decisions regarding their newfound wealth. It's crucial to plan for the long term, considering aspects such as tax implications, investments, and securing the funds for the future.

Lastly, I hope that both winners come forward soon to claim their prizes and enjoy the life-changing opportunities that come with such a significant jackpot.
