Imagine Winning a Lotto Ticket Where Everyone is Out to Get You 

Ever stood in the queue at the Spar, clutching your PowerBall ticket and dreaming of never seeing a "Loadshedding Stage 6" notification ever again? We’ve all been there. But what if winning the big one didn’t just mean you were rich—it meant you were fair game?

In a wild new "Grand Lottery" setting making waves (and making us glad we’re just dealing with the usual petrol price hikes), things in California have taken a dark, Hunger Games-style turn.

The Catch of the Century

The rules are simple, but absolutely mental:

  • The Win: You bag a multi-billion dollar jackpot.
  • The Chase: Every person in the state gets a notification of your location.
  • The Twist: If someone manages to take you out before sundown, they get to legally claim your prize.

Basically, it’s a "Winner Takes All" situation where "all" includes your life. Talk about a hectic Monday.

Watch Jackpot! this Saturday at 8PM.

Could You Survive a Sunset in Jozi?

It makes you think, doesn't it? If the National Lottery suddenly announced these rules for the next Saturday draw, how would we handle it?

Forget a luxury pad in Camps Bay—you’d be heading straight for a high-security bunker in Midrand. You wouldn't just be dodging potholes; you'd be dodging your own gogo trying to secure the bag for the family!

It’s a grim concept, but it definitely puts those "I’d give it all to charity" promises to the ultimate test. One thing is for sure: that sundown can’t come fast enough when the whole province is tracking your GPS.

Whatever It Takes, this Sunday 22 February at 8PM.
