Excitement is mounting across South Africa as the combined PowerBall and PowerBall Plus jackpots soared to R152 million ahead of the next draw on Tuesday, 23 September.
According to lottery operator ITHUBA, the PowerBall jackpot now stands at R83 million, with the PowerBall Plus jackpot climbing to R69 million, after no winners emerged from Friday night’s draw.
“With jackpots of this magnitude, the dream of financial freedom feels more real than ever,” ITHUBA said, encouraging players to buy tickets via licensed retailers, online platforms, or mobile apps.
In the face of economic pressures and rising living costs, many South Africans are seeing the potential win as more than just luck – but a chance at life-changing opportunity.
Will someone become the country’s next multi-millionaire?
The draw will be broadcast live on Tuesday evening, and results will be available shortly after on official platforms, as well as The South African website.
The next PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws will take place on Tuesday, 23 September from 20:58.
Good luck!
