Sizekhaya are the new national lottery operators in South Africa having officially taken over from ITHUBA on 1 June 2026.

They have introduced a host of changes, including the new PowerBall XTRA which replaced the PowerBall Plus draw.

As a reminder, PowerBall and PowerBall EXTA draws take place every Tuesday and Friday evenings at 21:00, live on e-tv and SABC 2.

Those wishing to play have until 20:40 on the day of each draw to do so.

HOW TO PLAY THE POWERBALL

The PowerBall costs R10 per board. Players match five numbers from a pool of 50, plus a PowerBall number from 1 to 16, either self-selected or via Quick Pick.

Adding PowerBall Xtra costs an extra R5 per board, giving a second shot at winning from the same numbers, bringing the combined cost to R15 per board if you play both.

WHERE TO BUY YOUR TICKETS

Tickets are available at authorised National Lottery retailers, on the National Lottery website and app, or via USSD by dialling 1207529#.

If you’re playing PowerBall through a banking app, Capitec, FNB, Absa, Nedbank, Standard Bank, TymeBank and African Bank all let you select numbers or Quick Pick directly from your phone before the cutoff.

Winners of R50 000 or more receive free trauma counselling and financial advice, and all National Lottery winnings are paid tax-free directly into the winner’s account.

Players must be 18 or older. Please play responsibly. Verify all results at the National Lottery website.
