# The National Lottery operator, ITHUBA, has dismissed social media claims suggesting only Absa and FNB clients win big prizes. ITHUBA says draws are conducted fairly, audited independently, and cannot be influenced. It explains that while 60-percent of tickets are bought via banks, this reflects digital growth, not bias. Since 2015, ITHUBA has contributed over 15.4-billion-rand to the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund.
