This smells like big stinky fish.......I would only believe it once I see the punter, holding the wining ticket rolling around in some good old fashioned South African MONEY!!!!

Thanks for that, maybe those returns made it fall under a different taxable bracket (taking a guess)
still it means he lost out on an extra 37k... for what ever reason... would be nice to know what that reason is... I'd be a scrooge and fight for it, even if i end up giving that same bucks to charity, that price was given to him, should of limited his winnings before final amount appearing on the ticket... (if this is the reason)

depends when the bet was taken it might have been subject to deductions in one of the legs due to scratching

I was happy to take the R37k less since I didn't think they would pay out the R893k in the 1st place
