Winning Numbers and Jackpot Breakdown
South Africa’s National Lottery announced the results of Tuesday’s PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws, and the figures are hard to ignore. The PowerBall results featured the main numbers 02, 22, 27, 36 and 39, with a PowerBall of 19, clinching a R36 million guaranteed prize. Meanwhile, the PowerBall Plus board turned up 01, 07, 14, 18 and 20, accompanied by the number 18, locking in a further R23 million for lucky ticket‑holders. Together, the two games offered a whopping R59 million in cash prizes.
Both jackpots were advertised as “estimated,” meaning the exact payout could vary slightly depending on the number of winners and any roll‑overs from previous draws. Nonetheless, the guaranteed minimums—R36 million for PowerBall and R23 million for Plus—set a clear floor for what players could expect.
How to Play, Costs and Responsible Gaming
The draw took place at 9 p.m. sharp, after lottery outlets shut their doors at 8:30 p.m. for the evening. A single PowerBall board costs R5, VAT included, and adding a PowerBall Plus entry tacks on an extra R2.50. For those who prefer a digital route, a selection of banking apps now lets you place bets directly from your phone, though the usual terms and conditions apply.
ITHUBA, the operator behind the National Lottery, reminds everyone that participants must be at least 18 years old. The organization also stresses responsible play, urging players to set budgets and avoid chasing losses. If you’re unsure about how much to spend, many outlets provide free pamphlets that outline safe‑gaming strategies.
Verification of the draw is straightforward: the official National Lottery website posts the full prize breakdown, winning ticket numbers and any roll‑over details. While we’re not linking directly, a quick search for the National Lottery portal will guide you to the right page.
Whether you walked away with a winning ticket or simply enjoyed the thrill of the draw, Tuesday’s lottery night reminded South Africans why the weekly numbers remain a cultural staple. With R59 million in play, the odds of life‑changing cash are ever‑present, but the real win comes from playing smart and staying within your limits.
