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
