For most of us, a million isn’t just cash, it’s a reset button, a game-changer, a “why not?” moment waiting to happen.

From 10 March, 'A Million & Change' the biggest radio giveaway of 2025 will be open for entries.

That’s right, one lucky South African will win R1 million in cash.

But 'A Million & Change' isn’t just about the lucky listener who takes home the million, it’s about the ripple effect. The winner will also get R125,000 to donate to a charity of their choice, proving that real change doesn’t just stop at your bank account.
