“I lost my job in 2019, and I started doing odd jobs to make ends meet. My biggest concern was taking care of my children,” he explained. “A few weeks ago the mother of my first child threatened to take me to the maintenance court as she was not happy with the money that I was contributing towards raising our child. This frustrated me as I really was giving all that I could.”
Speaking to Ithuba, the man announced his plans to invest most of his winnings, with most of the savings dedicated toward his children’s education. He also plans to buy a house for him and his family to live comfortably, and give back by helping the homeless in East London.
“I feel honoured that finally I will be able to do much more than just give a R5 coin to the homeless,” he said.
