The National Lottery in South Africa, operated by ITHUBA, has announced the exciting news of an immense R90 million PowerBall jackpot. The draw is scheduled for Friday, the 6th of September, 2024. The announcement has sparked a flurry of conversation and hopeful musings across the nation. The live draw will be broadcasted on e.tv at 9 p.m.

The Growing Anticipation and Previous Winners

This significant announcement has sent a wave of anticipation across the country, reminiscent of the excitement that followed the last PowerBall winner. This lucky individual secured a fantastic R70 million in May 2024. The good luck continued into July, when a spontaneous Quick Pick choice, made via a banking app, led a lucky player from KwaZulu-Natal to a jackpot of over R59 million.

Stories of victories continued to echo throughout the nation, as a married couple in the same province found themselves R16 million wealthier in August courtesy of PowerBall Plus. The couple, who discovered their windfall at a modest local retail store, encouraged other South Africans to try their luck in the lottery. They drew inspiration from the age-old saying, “You can’t catch a fish without bait in the water.”

CEO’s Encouraging Remarks

Charmaine Mabuza, the CEO of ITHUBA, shared the same optimism upon the announcement of yet another prospective life-changing jackpot. She emphasized ITHUBA’s motto which is, one has to participate to stand a chance at winning. The forthcoming draw on Friday, she hinted, could very well produce a new multimillionaire.
