Nine Players Share R25 Million PowerBall Xtra Jackpot

Sizekhaya's month-end cascade rule rerouted the unclaimed October top prize into lower divisions, creating nine multimillionaire winners across South Africa.

Overview

  • The PowerBall Xtra cascade, which took place on Friday, 30 October, split the R25 million jackpot so each of the nine winners received R2,814,061.90.
  • Winners matched four main numbers plus the bonus in the Xtra draw using 6, 24, 29, 36 and 37 with bonus 2 while the main PowerBall numbers were 7, 9, 21, 27 and 30 with bonus 8.
  • The nine winning tickets were bought at retail outlets and banking platforms nationwide, including Get Lucky Shop (Grahamstown), Bingo Royale (Mthatha), Pick n Pay Hazelpark, ABSA, Standard Bank, FNB, Checkers New Hazyview Junction, New York Corner (George) and Spar Alberton.
  • Under Sizekhaya's rule, an unclaimed PowerBall Xtra jackpot in the final draw of the month is cascaded into lower prize divisions rather than rolling over, and the October payout is part of a run that has benefited 29 players since the operator took over on 1 June 2026.
  • After a no-winner draw on Tuesday, 3 November, advertised jackpots were reset for Friday, 6 November with PowerBall guaranteed at R50 million and PowerBall Xtra estimated at R5 million.
