PowerBall Results Today: Latest Draws and PowerBall Plus (XTRA)

The latest PowerBall results are in the first block below, and the add-on draw that used to be called PowerBall Plus, now listed as PowerBall XTRA, is in the second. Each block shows the most recent draw first, then the draws before it, so last night's PowerBall numbers and the previous week's sit together. Under them is a checker: type one line from your ticket and it counts your matches in every listed draw.

Since 1 June 2026 the National Lottery has been run by Sizekhaya Holdings, not Ithuba. Some details changed with the new operator and not all of them are confirmed on an official page, so this page says clearly what is known and what you should check on sizekhaya.co.za.

If a block is missing, the newest data has not arrived yet or is more than three days old, and the page hides it rather than show an old draw as current. The operator's own channels and any lottery retailer terminal will have the result.

Reading the PowerBall results correctly

Each row in a block is one draw, dated, with the newest at the top. The main numbers come first and the PowerBall, drawn separately, follows in its own colour. The two blocks are two different draws held on the same evening: a number in the PowerBall XTRA block has nothing to do with your main PowerBall line unless your ticket was entered in that draw too.

The most common mistake is checking the wrong draw. A ticket bought after sales for one draw have closed is entered in a later draw, so the newest row on this page may not be yours. The draw date printed on the ticket decides which row you compare with, so start there, then work through every line on the ticket.

When PowerBall is drawn

Draw schedules published around the handover put PowerBall and its add-on on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 21:00 South African time. Reports on Sizekhaya's first live draws on 2 June 2026 said draws would run on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and be shown on e.tv and SABC, which fits PowerBall on two of those nights and Lotto on the other two.

Ticket sales close some time before each draw. The closing time is set by the operator, so if you buy late on a draw day, ask the retailer which draw the ticket is for.

PowerBall Plus and the PowerBall XTRA name

PowerBall Plus was the add-on draw sold with a PowerBall entry. Under the previous operator it took the numbers of your main line into a separate draw, with its own results and its own prize table; check the current rules with Sizekhaya. Since Sizekhaya took over, results services and news reports list it as PowerBall XTRA, and our second block carries that name because that is how the results source labels it.

Two things follow from the add-on being a separate draw. First, a ticket can win in one draw and not the other. Second, your numbers are only in the add-on draw if you paid for it when you bought the ticket. Look for the add-on on the printed ticket before you check the second block.

What changed under Sizekhaya, and what is still unclear

Ithuba's licence ended in May 2026 and Sizekhaya Holdings started on 1 June 2026 on an eight-year licence, issued under the Lotteries Act 57 of 1997 and overseen by the National Lotteries Commission. In November 2025 the Pretoria High Court refused Ithuba's urgent interdict, and review applications by Ithuba and another bidder were set to be heard in 2026. We do not know their outcome.

News reports since the handover describe changes to PowerBall, but the ones we found were sponsored articles or aggregators, not the operator's own rules:

• a higher PowerBall ticket price (reported in October 2026, amount not confirmed);
• "cascading jackpots" and a feature called "Multiplay 2" (reported in September 2026, how they work not confirmed);
• the new add-on name, PowerBall XTRA.

PowerBall payouts and prize divisions

PowerBall prizes are paid in divisions by how many main numbers you match and whether you also match the PowerBall. Each division shares its part of the prize pool among the winning tickets, so the same match can pay a different amount in different draws, and the payout table only appears after the draw once winning tickets are counted. The jackpot rolls over when nobody wins the top division.

We do not copy payout figures, because a claim is judged only against the operator's table. Our lotto payouts page explains how the divisions and the pool work, with a worked example.

PowerBall history and hot numbers

The blocks above keep the latest draws only. For a longer list, use the past lotto results page; for counts of which numbers came up most in those draws, see lotto number statistics. Read those counts as history. The PowerBall machine has no memory: every number has the same chance in every draw, whatever happened on Tuesday, and no pattern, app or paid tip changes that.

Entering PowerBall the official way

A PowerBall entry is bought from the National Lottery operator, at an authorised retailer or through the online and banking channels the operator lists. Our guide on how to play PowerBall and Lotto walks through it. "Lucky numbers" products at betting sites are something else: fixed-odds bets on a draw result, which section 57 of the Lotteries Act restricts. They are not PowerBall tickets and their payouts are not lottery prizes.

Keeping PowerBall a small expense

No one under 18 may buy, sell or claim a National Lottery ticket. Big rollovers pull in extra spending; pick an amount per draw that you would spend on any other evening out and keep to it, rollover or not. If tickets have stopped being a small treat, the National Responsible Gambling Programme runs a confidential counselling line on 0800 006 008, and our responsible gambling page lists other help.
