Curious about when these exciting draws happen? The PowerBall and PowerBall Plus events take place every Tuesday and Friday, broadcast live on e.tv (channel 194) at 21:00 South African time. It's like a weekly ritual for thrill-seekers across the country!
Let's break down how PowerBall works, step by step, to make sure even newcomers get it. To enter the main jackpot draw, you pick five primary numbers from 1 to 50, plus one special 'PowerBall' number from 1 to 20. Each entry costs just R5.00 per board. And get this – the biggest win in South African lottery history? It happened right here in PowerBall on February 19, 2019, when a single lucky player walked away with a staggering R232,131,750.69. Talk about life-altering!
Now, for something extra: PowerBall Plus is basically PowerBall's little sibling, offering a second shot at glory. When you buy your PowerBall ticket, you can add on R2.50 per board to play this too. The odds stay the same, but the prizes are typically a bit smaller – it's like hedging your bets for another chance to smile. This option was rolled out on November 28, 2015, by the National Lottery of South Africa, giving players more ways to dream big.
Ready to grab your tickets? You can pick them up at any participating retailer nearby, or go digital: head to national lottery.co.za on your computer or phone, download the National Lottery Mobile App, or even use services from banks like FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec, TymeBank, or African Bank. For those who prefer quick mobile access, just dial 1207529# via USSD. Super convenient, right?
Did you know this fun fact? If you're lucky enough to win R50,000 or more, the National Lottery steps in with free perks – professional trauma counseling from psychologists to help you handle the shock, and financial advice from accredited advisors to manage your newfound wealth. Plus, all winnings go straight into your account tax-free. It's a thoughtful way to support winners through the whirlwind of change.
But here's where it gets controversial – critics often argue that lotteries prey on hope, with odds so slim that they're essentially a 'tax on the poor.' On the flip side, supporters see them as harmless entertainment that funds good causes. What do you think: is playing the lotto a smart gamble or just a feel-good fantasy?

One more thing before we wrap up: ticket sales for outlets close at 20:30 on draw days, so don't leave it to the last minute. And remember, you must be at least 18 years old to play – keeping things responsible.
