The double-header at St George’s Park on 28 November 2015 will forever remain special for two cricket fans as they found themselves in the right place at the right time, and caught their share of R1-million in the ever popular RAM SLAM Catch A Million competition.
The first match saw the Sunfoil Dolphins challenge the VKB Knights. Months from now, 22-year-old Elmar Landman probably will not recall who won that match, all he’ll remember is securing the catch of his lifetime. The Port Elizabeth resident said he was positioned near the side screen when the ball came his way. “I remember hearing a girl shouting ‘here it comes’, so I turned to look and the ball was headed straight for me. Whatever my winnings end up being, I would like to invest everything.”
Not long after Elmar had calmed down after his catch, the seventh Catch A Million winner was in action, resulting in each of the winners taking home R142 857 as things currently stand. 45-year-old Anton Botha caught off Knights batsman Aubrey Swanepoel in their innings. “It was an incredible feeling taking the catch and there were high fives all round! Depending on how much I win I would like to pay off my car as well as go on a nice holiday. Actually, to just spend some of the money would be nice! I am so lucky that I happened to be in the right place at the right time!”
With only 9 matches remaining, fans are urged to attend the live televised games so that they too can claim their stake on the handsome remaining cash pot!
