Sizekhaya celebrates strong national response
Three days after assuming responsibility for operating the National Lottery, Sizekhaya Holdings says it is encouraged by strong player participation, a positive public response to its refreshed lottery offering and the creation of the first National Lottery PowerBall multi-millionaire under its stewardship.
A KwaZulu-Natal player won Tuesday night's estimated R128 million PowerBall jackpot. The winning ticket was purchased at a retail store in the province.
While the transition to Sizekhaya from the previous operator has generally proceeded smoothly, a small number of players experienced difficulties purchasing tickets through certain banking and digital channels during the first days of operation.
The issues were identified quickly and are being resolved in partnership with banking and retail stakeholders.
