A PANELBEATER and a self-employed vrou from Joburg have become instant multi-milllionaires.
The lucky duo hit the R78 million jackpot on 18 June and will each bank a moerse R39M.
The panelbeater said he found out he won when he received a call from his bank notifying him of his winnings.
He told the Lotto organisers: “It feels absolutely surreal. Although I'm a regular player, the thought of winning always sounded so far-fetched, but I had hope. Now, here I am, a multi-millionaire Lotto jackpot winner.
Meanwhile, the lucky businesswoman says she is going to invest her geld to expand her operation.
"I was in shock and complete disbelief when I realised I had won. I'm excited to expand my business and purchase an industrial machine that will really elevate my business.”
