Pretoria man wins R1 million
Jacaranda FM made a millionaire in 2025...
After weeks of hype, thousands of hopefuls, and a whole lot of dreaming, Jacaranda FM found A Million & Change winner.
One lucky listener walked away with a life-changing R1 million.
A journey worth a million
Let's rewind to March 10, when this wild ride began.
We kicked off A Million & Change with one goal: to make one South African R1 million richer.
From the moment we made the announcement, the competition took over.
Listeners answered questions religiously every day, hoping to secure their shot.
Some of you became full-time strategists – setting reminders, double-checking your answers, and even manifesting your win (we see you, vision board creators).
And finally, we had a winner.
Meet the millionaire!
Out of thousands of entries, our digital randomiser had one job: pick one name. Just one.
And after much anticipation, it did exactly that.
The lucky winner of A Million & Change was Leon Geeringh from Pretoria!

As part of A Million & Change, our winner also received R125,000 to donate to a charity of his choice, making this win even more meaningful.
To everyone who entered, played along, and made this competition unforgettable – a million thanks to you.
Just because you didn’t win this time doesn’t mean your moment isn’t coming.
Keep listening, keep engaging, and who knows? Next time, we could be calling you.
