Power Ball!
Im not a huge player of the Lotto but when I came across these winning numbers my first thought was that the Lotteries in South Africa was just another fraud and corrupt game, manipulated by the syndicates.Then I read that this combination is possible (anything is) but not probable.
Apparently many people like that type of consecutive numbers.
On the 2nd of December 2020 , 20 new multimillionaires who each won over R5 million on the Power Ball jackpot!
The wining combination for the Power ball was:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and yes the PB was 10 Amazing!!!

Why? Just because you say so?
In my opinion the lotteries in SA have mostly enriched and empowered thousands of the locally previously disadvantaged.
That is a huge plus.
More than lucky?
Im with lovecanbereal on this one, id rather buy a bag of oranges.
That would be smarter, at least you might get some vitamin C - instead of confetti in your hand!
Knew i would get a laugh coming back---i await the rest
Nice surprise.
Welcome back. Good to see you.
I always envy the group of fishermen especially those that reel in the excellent Cob, Tiger etc. All it would take is just a hook on a line, then at least I MIGHT enjoy the fruits of my labour?
Glad you are back.
I've come the conclusion that especially with gambling my luck seem to have abandoned me a long time ago but it wont make me any poorer (or richer) to cast a few lines into the pond now and again. Just in case.
I'm with you on the oranges and my tree promises me more than just a bag every year.
Like I was saying about the fish....
Can't speak for other countries but:
A massive win will be free from income tax if the winner is a casual gambler in SA, any gifts to friends and family will attract tax. A pro gambler would have to register the 'win' as income.

The National Lotteries Commission also serves as a Grant Funder, providing registered Non Profit Organizations with funding to establish projects that improve the lives of everyday South Africans. Our grant funding focuses mainly in areas that require enough support to be able to bring growth and change within impoverished communities. The impact of our grant funding model, is designed in a manner that plays a pertinent role in changing peoples lives. We as a commission are guided by a strict mandate, that governs our operations and helms the model of our grant funding.
If this is always true I can't say.
MiMi hit the jackpot when she married her Arty!
I know it sounds cheesy but I don’t care
Hi Red
Hi Mimiart glad to see you are still here too.
before someone peels me
Wellllll I know one guy that is really really going to hope you win big with the chance to witness how you give it allll away...
Have a great day Red.
This blog is actually about the strange occurence of the consecutive numbers and not about corrupt governments, lucky or unlucky players.
Rather if the numbers that were drawn in December were legit. It made a few guys (hopefully not related to the lotto commision) Instant millionaires, which is fantastic. But was this a rigged draw or just a coincidence?
5,6,7,8,9,and PB 10
When I win, I'll be able to BUY my dreams. No more wishing upon a star.
Then you can take that world tour and even visit Africa
