That’s because not only are the syndicate member not going to leave their jobs but they have also decided to invest in the business making it even stronger and allowing them to expand during the downturn.
It’s a real feel-good tale and Mr Whitaker has been quoted as saying how great it is not only to have this substantial lottery win but also to know how much his workforce care about the business they work in.

In fact some even go so far as to say they won’t play the lottery again after one single draw produced eighteen winners. For one player to match all the winning numbers is a staggering thirteen million to one and many South Africans feel that to see eighteen players select the same numbers isn’t just improbable but impossible too.
It isn’t of course and that’s the thing with the lottery, as unlikely as the odds may seem, someone will always beat them and win the jackpot. Or in this case eighteen players will beat the odds. The jackpot was a high one and that means that every one of the eighteen winning players received over R1 million.

It’s not the first time it’s happened in the lotto with 19 players sharing the jackpot back in 2001 and a staggering 33 sharing it in 2003.
Of course even by them standards it has a long way to go before beating the record share that happened in the UK back in 1995 when 133 players shared a National Lottery jackpot, said to have happened when the numbers drawn were mainly numbers likely to be chosen because of birthdays.

Play the lottery, where everything is impossible, yet possible!

And we are sure there must have been plenty of them, especially when you consider that the overall odds of winning a prize in the lottery are one in twenty four. The odds of winning a top prize of course are certainly a lot higher and may seem a long shot at 1 in 76.2 million but then someone has to win and there have been plenty of jackpot winners over the five years since the EUromillion Lottery launch and there will no doubt be many more in the future.
There has been some real high points for the lottery not least then in August 2007 when Angela Kelly scooped £35.4 million on the draw becoming the largest UK lottery prize winner ever. That’s not the only time the Euromillions has broken records either, in July 2005 one Dolores McNamara from Ireland scooped a massive £125 million in the draw and to this day she remains the biggest Euromillions winner ever.
The draw launched on Friday 13th February 2004 and is one of the largest lottery games in the world played in nine participating countries, draws are held once weekly in Paris ever Friday evening.

The charitable organisation, Standing together against rape is expected to receive between $2,000 and $20,000 once expenses have been paid after the win but it seems like the ultimate kick in the teeth to the organisation after the winner is actually a sexual predator.

Victims of the sex offender feel he shouldn’t be able to even claim his winnings after he come forward for his cheque on Saturday, he pleaded guilty in both 1993 and the year 200 to three counts of sexual abuse against a minor
When contacted, unsurprisingly the winner was reluctant to take about his win, and his past, now living in a Salvation army hostel the winner says he has repented for his deeds although his victims feel that this win is ‘like a kick in the teeth’

Of course the lottery has no conscience and unlike other windfalls that people may have, anyone can buy a lottery ticket and short of preventing anyone with a criminal record purchasing a ticket there really isn’t anything that can be done.
