This Big September, LottoStar, in collaboration with Joburg’s biggest radio station 947, is giving one lucky South African the chance to decide what they would do with one million Rand. That’s right – we’re giving away R1 million to one lucky winner with the How Lucky Can You Get competition. It gets better: as a way of paying it forward and recognizing those who go above and beyond for others, we’re also giving non-profit organisation (NGO) The Grace Factory R1 million.

So far, members from LottoStar, 947, The Grace Factory and the public have made up 2 000 packs and we’ve delivered about 500 packs to six hospitals around Gauteng.

Who is The Grace Factory?

This NGO’s amazing work includes supporting children’s homes by providing them with basic necessities such as clothes, blankets, nappies, baby formula, and other toiletries. Founded in 2013 by Amy Westerman, who currently works full time in a corporate firm as a Chartered Accountant, Alison Wright works at the organisation full time and spends her days collecting clothes, dropping off and following up on donations. “Words cannot express how grateful The Grace Factory is for this life changing donation,” says Westerman. “What started out like any old Monday, was one of the biggest day's in The Grace Factory's history. The R1 million is more than we ever could've imagined and we can help more people with this money than our wildest imaginations could've ever dreamed. Thanks to Lottostar and 947 we can change the lives of so many vulnerable moms and babies. The community of JHB (and now PE, Cape Town and even Welkom) has been so very receptive towards what we are trying to achieve. We have had so many volunteers offer of their time and baby donations and we would like to thank each and every one of them. Together we CAN (and will) make a difference in South Africa."  

The How Lucky Can You Get competition  

Entering is extremely easy: head over to 947.lottostar.co.za and predict 7 numbers. As a registered LottoStar player, the winner will receive R1 million and a non-registered player will receive R500 000. The winner will be announced during a live outside broadcast with 947’s Breakfast Xpress team on the 3rd of October. Those who try their luck will essentially be playing on one of LottoStar’s most played games, the SuperEnaLotto. Played all over the world, this Italy based game started in the 1950’s, and draws take place on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays at 21h00 (GMT+2) in Rome. Those betting on the SuperEnaLotto choose a total of six numbers out of 90 and a bonus ‘SuperStar’ number. If the chosen numbers match the numbers that are drawn – or a combination of them - the player will place in one of the game’s total of 14 prize tiers.
