Play for a purpose — win big and help save little lives
From 15 September to 3 October 2025, LottoStar and 947 bring you Big September — where R1 million in cash is up for grabs every weekday.
At LottoStar, charity is a privilege not an obligation. That’s why Big September isn’t just about big wins — it’s also about making a big impact in the lives of children who need it most.
We’re proud to be supporting the work of Surgeons for Little Lives — a team of dedicated paediatric surgeons and volunteers transforming children’s healthcare in South Africa’s public hospitals. Their mission? To ensure that less fortunate children in state hospitals have access to the world-class, compassionate, and life-saving surgical care they deserve.
Funds raised will be used to purchase surgical equipment and consumables to enhance the operations performed on young patients in the paediatric wards of Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Gauteng, made possible through Surgeons for Little Lives.
From scheduled operations to life-saving emergency procedures, the team performs over 200 paediatric operations every month. By entering Big September, you’re helping to drive the transformative change that our public sector so urgently needs. Each entry brings us closer to a future where no child is denied high-quality surgical care due to a lack of resources.
By playing Big September on 947, you’re not just chasing big prizes — you’re giving children in Gauteng a fighting chance at a healthier future.
How to Enter:
  • Visit Big September and answer a simple LottoStar question.
  • Register your LottoStar account and place a bet during the specified dates.
  • If 947 calls and you pick up, you instantly win R2,500 in cash.
  • If you’ve placed a bet on the qualifying dates, you’ll stand a chance to win up to R250,000 — four times a day, live on air!
  • You could win 1 of 120 Golden Tickets for the R1 MILLION Grand Prize at the end of the competition.
So what are you waiting for? We invite you to join us in saving as many little lives as possible. Enter now, register, and place your bets- don't miss this opportunity to win big prizes for an even bigger purpose.
