PUNTER WINS R787 326 FROM A R6 BET!

PRESS RELEASE
PUNTER WINS R787 326 FROM A R6 BET!

A 47 year old man who bet his last R6 at the Hollywood Bets Pretoria retail branch, won an incredible R787 326! Mr. Skhosana, who did not want to publicise his first name, lost his job last month, as well as his CCMA case. He said he had dreamt of the winning numbers the night before.

Skhosana bet on Hollywood’s ‘Powa Numbas’ game, which allows the participant to bet on the results of the ‘Powa Ball’. The win could not have come at a more opportune moment, as he feared the worst for his family, since he lost his job.

He said: “It felt like a dream, I couldn’t believe I won so much for just R6! I was taking chances after I lost my job and a CCMA case.  I normally gamble with R10 or R8, but on that day I didn’t have enough, I’m unemployed, so I decided to play with R6. God works in mysterious ways.’’

Skhosana placed the bet on Friday, 22 August at 9.25pm, just five minutes before the South African Powerball draw broadcast at 9.30pm. His selected numbers were 5, 8, 21 and 35, with 7 to be the bonus ball. The S.A Powerball result on Friday 22 August was 5, 8, 21, 34, 35 and 7 as the bonus ball.

“I believe in ancestors. I took this bet because of the dream that I had the night before which had the numbers,” he said.

Skhosana selected a more risky bet for the SA Powerball draw, where he predicted four numbers out of the six balls to be dropped, as well as the inclusion of predicting the bonus ball. He chose R6 as his stake and his selection gave him odds of 131 220 to 1.

He said that he plans to buy a house, save for his kid’s education and buy a taxi to start earning an income.

He added: ‘’Hollywood is best betting company and very well paying and legit. It really saved my life. ‘’

Dermot O’Connell, Betting Operations Manager of Hollywoodbets, said: ‘’Mr. Skhosana is a lucky man who has been able to change his life with a mere R6. It is wonderful to see a customer win such a tremendous amount.  We are thrilled he chose Hollywoodbets to place that wager. We wish him all the best investing his money on his family and in future business ventures”.
