A former Manchester United player has now pocketed close to R10 million after winning the lottery.
One of United's stars of yesteryear, Cliff Bull, has now won the lotto at the grand age of 82.

Bull is said to have first been signed by United legend Sir Matt Busby in 1957 when he was just a 15-year-old teenager.
However, his career at Old Trafford lasted just two seasons before he joined Nottingham Forest, according to Metro UK.
It is added that a series of injuries, which required around 26 operations, left him with two artificial knees.
This week, Bull's life took a valuable turn as he won £400,000 (R9.4 million) from the Postcode Lottery in Nottingham.
"I'm absolutely staggered, I'm still lost for words. It opens up so many possibilities," an elated Bull told the Postcode Lottery, according to their official website.
"I'm overwhelmed, to be quite honest. It's beyond what I could ever have dreamt.
"I can pay for a holiday for all of the family. That would be my dream for all of us to go away, which at the last count was 22.
"That would make me very, very happy."
He added: "I'll be able to help out all my grandkids financially, especially with the expense of things today. I'm sure they'll be over the moon, probably more than me.
"I'm getting on now, and I'm hoping to have a few more years, and I'd like to take the whole family away, which would be fantastic."
