South Africa Powerball

How to read the PowerBall payouts

The prize breakdown table has three columns:

• Matched: the number of main numbers matched, plus the PowerBall if it matched. "4 + 1" means four main numbers and the PowerBall.
• Winners: how many boards matched exactly that combination in the draw.
• Prize per winner: the payout for each of those boards, in rand, before any tax.

SA PowerBall has 9 divisions, with the jackpot (5 + PowerBall) as the top division. If your combination is not in the Matched column, it did not win in that draw. The payouts change from draw to draw, so always read them for your own draw date.

The figures come from LottaGo's data partner. The operator's published figures are final, so confirm a payout before you rely on it. If a draw shows no breakdown, the partner has not published it yet.

When are PowerBall results published?

PowerBall is drawn every Tuesday and Friday. According to the official National Lottery site, ticket sales close at 20h40 and results are published from 21h00. The winning numbers usually reach this page the same evening, and the payouts follow once LottaGo's data partner has them.

How to check your PowerBall ticket

1. Find the draw date on your ticket in the list of past draws below.
2. For each board, count the matching main numbers, then check the PowerBall separately.
3. Find that combination in the Matched column of the payout table.
4. Claim through the official National Lottery operator, Sizekhaya Holdings since June 2026, or the retailer that sold the ticket. Claim rules are on nationallottery.co.za.

The order of the numbers does not matter. Your five main numbers can match in any order. The PowerBall only counts if it matches the PowerBall drawn.

Past PowerBall results

The results table lists past PowerBall draws with dates, up to the last 60. Because the game switched to a 1–16 PowerBall in June 2026, LottaGo's history under the current rules starts on Jun 2, 2026. Use the table to find results by date, such as "PowerBall results 9 October 2026", "PowerBall results for yesterday" or "Friday's PowerBall results".

PowerBall results FAQ

What is PowerBall XTRA?

PowerBall XTRA is the R5 add-on that replaced PowerBall PLUS in 2026. You add it to a R10 PowerBall board. LottaGo's results show the main PowerBall draw only, so XTRA results and payouts are not on this page. Check them on the official National Lottery site, nationallottery.co.za.

What is the PowerBall payout?

PowerBall payouts change from draw to draw. The table above shows the payout per winning board in each of the 9 divisions for the latest draw, together with the number of winners. The operator's figures are final.

How much does PowerBall pay for 2 numbers?

Look up "2 + 1" or "2 + 0" in the Matched column of the payout table. If the combination is listed, the Prize per winner column shows what it paid in the latest draw. If it is not listed, it did not win a prize. LottaGo does not quote fixed amounts, because the payouts are set per draw.

How much does the PowerBall pay out with the bonus ball?

In SA PowerBall, the extra ball is the PowerBall, drawn from 1–16. Matching it adds "+ 1" to your combination, for example "3 + 1". The payout for each combination with the PowerBall is in the prize table above for the latest draw. The same main-number match usually lands in a different division with the PowerBall than without it, so read the right row.

Is PowerBall the same as LOTTO?

No. PowerBall draws 5 numbers from 1–50 plus a PowerBall from 1–16 on Tuesdays and Fridays. LOTTO draws 6 numbers from 1–52 plus a Bonus Ball on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They have separate tickets, jackpots and results. The LOTTO results are on the SA LOTTO page.
