About PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra
PowerBall is one of South Africa’s National Lottery jackpot games. Players choose five numbers from a pool of 50, plus one PowerBall number from a separate pool of 16. Unlike Daily Lotto, PowerBall carries a genuine rolling jackpot. If nobody matches all five numbers plus the PowerBall, the jackpot grows and rolls over into the next draw.
PowerBall Xtra is an optional add-on game using the same numbers you picked for the main PowerBall draw, giving you a second chance to win in a separate results draw. PowerBall Xtra also includes a Jackpot Cascade feature: if nobody wins the jackpot in the final draw of the calendar month, the jackpot money is split between Division 2 winners instead of rolling over further.
PowerBall prizes are paid tax-free in South Africa. Winners of larger prizes may also receive access to professional financial guidance and counselling through the National Lottery’s winner support programme.
How to play PowerBall
Playing PowerBall is easy. Choose five numbers between 1 and 50, plus one PowerBall number between 1 and 16, or choose Quick Pick to have your numbers selected at random. A standard entry costs R10 per board. Adding PowerBall Xtra costs an extra R5 per board, bringing a combined entry to R15.
Buying a ticket:
You can buy tickets from authorised National Lottery retailers such as grocery stores, spaza shops, or Flash traders. Tickets can also be purchased through the National Lottery website and mobile app.
You can also buy PowerBall tickets through participating banking apps, including FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank and Capitec. Simply open the app, navigate to the Lotto section, choose PowerBall and select your numbers.
How to claim your winnings:
If your numbers match one of the prize divisions, you may be entitled to a cash prize. Before celebrating, double-check your ticket against the official results above and keep it in a safe place until you’ve claimed any winnings.
Prizes under R2,000 can be collected from participating retailers, and if purchased via a banking app, the winnings are paid directly into your bank account. When claiming from a retailer, take your physical ticket with you in order for the payout to be processed.
Prizes between R2,001 and R49,999 can be claimed from designated regional payout centres or by post. Prizes of R50,000 and above must be claimed directly from a regional office. You’ll need to present your winning ticket, a valid South African ID book or smart ID card, proof of residence, and your banking details for payment.
