JOHANNESBURG – The latest Powerball jackpot winner said he’s looking forward to not having to work another day in his life.
The 60-year-old electrician from Bloemfontein won R121 million in last week’s Powerball.
It’s the third largest jackpot this year.
The winner – whose identity was withheld – said he decided to tender his resignation with immediate effect.
“I checked the ticket about 20 times and googled to make sure it was correct. It was unreal. I never have to work again, nor my kids. The money will work for me and I will invest it.”
