A R15 Quick Pick has turned into R20 million for one lucky Powerball player. Yet, they still haven’t claimed their prize. Could it be you?
Somewhere in South Africa, a life has changed forever. They just don’t know it yet, or they are choosing to remain missing in action.
R20 million Powerball jackpot
One lucky citizen unknowingly secured a massive R19,927,387 PowerBall jackpot win. The ticket was bought via the Capitec banking app.
The National Lottery Ithuba confirmed the incredible win, but the multi-millionaire remains in the dark. Maybe they lost their phone?

Since the beginning of the year, Ithuba has paid out nearly half a billion rand in winnings to over 13 million players.
The largest jackpot so far is a jaw-dropping R102 million PowerBall prize on 24 January 2025, which was claimed very swiftly.
That winner quit his job and plans to start a business and give back to charity.
This latest winner, however, remains a mystery.
You could be a millionaire
Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of Ithuba, urged players to check their tickets immediately. She said while they are “thrilled to have yet another big win,” the mystery winner must please come forward.
Winners who buy tickets through banking apps receive an automatic notification from their bank.
To collect the prize, they must visit their nearest National Lottery Operator’s office. Once a valid claim is made, the winnings will be paid out within 72 hours.
So, take a moment.
Think back.
Did you buy a Quick Pick ticket last week?
The fortune of a lifetime could be waiting for you.
