An estimated R80 million is up for grabs in the Powerball jackpot draw on Friday, while R8 million is available in the Powerball Plus draw.
On Tuesday, 531 players matched four numbers in the regular draw for a payout of R 925.60 each, while four people matched five numbers in the Plus draw for R48,264.60 each.
If you’ve won, you will need to contact the nearest Ithuba regional office. The Ithuba offices open at 8am and close again 4pm, from Monday to Friday.
Tickets can be purchased via any National Lottery retailer, or via the Absa, Standard Bank, Nedbank and FNB banking apps.
Alternatively, if you have an account, dial *120*7529# for USSD.
Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza says they are “waiting in anticipation to see who will win” the jackpot.
“It’s always interesting to observe the nature of hope among our players, who take the chance of possibly next in line to become a multi-millionaire,” said Mabuza.
Check your tickets to see if you are the multi-millionaire who won R7,471,539.30 in the #PowerBallPLUS because the winnings are still unclaimed.
The ticket was bought in Beaufort, Eastern Cape, and will expire on 9 July 2022. Check your tickets now!
