Ithuba: No Truth to Photoshopped South Africa Lottery Tickets

The "Student" Had Connections in the Lottery

Efforts were made by the lottery operator to make contact with the publication which first reported the story. The report went so far as to claim that the “student” was in cohorts with a person who worked with the lottery, and was therefore able to steal from the national lottery. Ithuba said that it has not managed to get a response from the publication.

In the meantime, “Sizwe” has been hailed a national hero by the many people who still believe the story. Social media users have taken to their favorite platforms, praising the student for “seeing an opportunity and utilizing it,” as one man wrote.

Someone else wrote that he “saluted” Sizwe for using his knowledge and skills to live his life.

“At least Sizwe’s action didn’t cost any life!” the person wrote.

Twitter user, Toni, wrote that “Lotto must leave Sizwe alone, do you understand the frustration of thatha ma chance and never thatha ma million. He saw an easy way out and took it. Leave Sizwe alone. Sizwe 1 Lotto 0”.
