This year, in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Summer of Millions competition with 947 will be supporting 

At the end of the three weeks of the Summer of Millions, we are pleased to announce that R874,500 was raised for CANSA. This amount will help make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by cancer.


Every year on World Cancer Day, we are reminded of the importance of early detection, support and access to life-saving treatment. Cancer affects millions of lives, but together, we can make a difference with early detection.

At The Star Foundation, we believe in the power of collective action. Through 

’s Summer of Millions competition on 947, we raised funds to support 

CANSA (The Cancer Associations of South Africa).

 Thanks to your participation, we were able to contribute significantly by providing screenings and resources to those who need them most.

A key beneficiary of these funds is CANSA, a leading organization dedicated to cancer research, education and patient support. With these funds, CANSA will provide free cancer screenings to underserved communities, held at 26 pop-up clinics across Gauteng, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, and the Free State in the month of February/March. Ensuring early detection and access to treatment before it’s too late.


Early detection saves lives. Routine cancer screenings can identify potential health risks early, increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery. Unfortunately, many South Africans lack access to these essential screenings, making initiatives like this even more crucial.

This World Cancer Day let’s take action. Whether it’s scheduling your own screening, spreading awareness or supporting organizations like CANSA, every effort counts.

The Star Foundation and CANSA stand together in the fight against cancer. Thanks to your support through LottoStar’s Summer of Millions competition on 947, we’re funding free cancer screenings for those who need them most.

Standing Together Against Cancer

 was more than just an opportunity to win big – it was a powerful initiative to support the 

Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA)

In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the funds raised went towards life-saving cancer screenings, emotional support, and essential care for those affected by the disease.

Since 1931, CANSA had been at the forefront of cancer advocacy, research, and education. Their mission? To create a cancer-free world. Through public awareness campaigns, innovative research, and policy advocacy, CANSA ensured that patients received the care and support they deserved.

This initiative was about more than just raising funds it was about empowering communities. With the support of LottoStar players, CANSA was able to extend its reach, providing early detection screenings, treatment assistance, and educational programmes to those who needed them most.

 competition ran from 14 October to 1 November 2024, giving LottoStar players the chance to turn their dreams into reality while making a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.
