A man gets dumped but in his moment of sadness he wins a R60-million jackpot

Loading player...
Just a week ago, a 33-year-old Johannesburg man was nursing his heartbreak after his live in girlfriend ended their courtship. The man was beside himself…But in just a day- quick turnaround!

The same guy clocked the 60 million Powerball Jackpot, a day after his gf dumped him.

He went on further to share the following with regards to his now ex-girlfriend, and whether or not she had reached out since finding out the news: ‘My live-in girlfriend had just broken up with me, and I was not in the best of moods, I was by myself as she had already moved out. When I realised that I had won, I thought I was dreaming. I immediately went to take a cold shower and then came back to check again. It was real – lady luck was on my side, but clearly not so much for her!”
