Mzansi can’t stop talking about a local couple who pulled off their wedding on an R10k budget, proving you don’t need a champagne tower or a string quartet to say “I do”. Aunties are taking notes, groomsmen are quietly relieved, and the rest of us are side-eyeing what we spent on the last family braai. Still, with a combined R8 million in jackpots up for grabs, somebody’s next big day might not need a budget at all.
Numbers updated here after the draw. Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto 5 Max draw every Wednesday and Saturday at 21:00 SAST.
