But the lottery gods weren’t done yet.

The Daily Lotto spread some love around too, with ten players hitting the jackpot over the weekend.
On Friday, three winners shared R210,000 each, with the Western Cape and Gauteng sharing the spoils. Saturday saw more banking app magic, with three players pocketing R167,000 each.
Another four players will also be splitting R86,000 each between them.
