A lucky FNB customer from Tshwane won R33 million in this weekend’s Powerball Draw; after purchasing a R30 Quick Pick ticket through FNB Cellphone Banking.
“Congratulations to the winner of this awesome jackpot. This LOTTO win is a massive feat for our customer. Customers are empowered to manage their finances through the Banks digital platforms. Our strategy of digital inclusion has made access to banking and other services more convenient, accessible and affordable,” says Shadrack Palmer, FNB Chief Commercial Officer, FNB Connect.
Since reintroducing the National Lottery on the banks digital channels in 2015, FNB platforms have helped 20 jackpot winners; of which 6 jackpot winners were announced this year alone and a total amount of R750 million in LOTTO winnings were awarded to FNB customers.
“With the festive season almost here, we advise our customers to be cautious of their spending behaviour. We tend to spend frivolously during the festive period and are sometimes left with minimal funds in January. We encourage our customers to continually monitor their spending, obtain the correct financial advice and to draw up financial plans which will help them manage, save and invest their money. This blueprint is important in helping your money last longer,” concludes Palmer.
Customers can play LOTTO and PowerBall conveniently via the FNB Banking App, Cellphone and Online Banking and can even purchase tickets using their eBucks.
