Amongst these two winners, there have been quite a few individuals who have had the luck of winning substantial pay-outs in the SA Lotto during 2020. It is not common for players to share in such substantial pay-outs and often even those who do not win the grand pay-out have more than enough chance to be lucky enough to share their prize with others.
