PowerBall Jackpot Reaches R165 Million Amid New Payout System

By Africazine

The latest PowerBall draw in South Africa has captivated players with a jackpot of R165 million.

On June 19, 2026, the PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra jackpot reached R165 million, a slight decrease from the R175 million in May. The new operator, ITHUBA, has introduced a tiered payout system, which has been praised for improving payout transparency and addressing rollover fatigue.

PowerBall Draw Attracts Nationwide Attention

The combined jackpot of R165 million drew significant interest from players across South Africa. The payout structure rewards the top prize to those matching six main numbers, while the second tier offers R5 million for matching six numbers plus the bonus ball. Secondary tiers provide prizes ranging from R50,000 for five main numbers and the bonus to R100 for matching a single main number.

ITHUBA’s new tiered payout system aims to enhance player experience by ensuring clarity in prize distribution. The total prize pool is allocated across six tiers, and the draw saw a record sale of 1.2 million tickets, indicating strong participation.

Improved Payout System Enhances Player Experience

The introduction of a tiered payout system has been a game changer for South African lottery players. Each ticket now comes with a clear prize schedule available on the official app, allowing players to understand their potential winnings better. This system also addresses previous concerns regarding rollover fatigue, ensuring that players receive quicker payouts.

Ticket purchases can be made digitally or at physical stores, providing accessibility for all players. The dual approach allows participants to choose their preferred method, whether through the ITHUBA banking app or at licensed retailers nationwide.

Next Steps for South African Lottery Players

  • Continued promotion of the new tiered payout system.
  • Ongoing sales of PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra tickets.
  • Future draws scheduled to maintain player engagement.

The excitement surrounding the PowerBall draw highlights its role as a source of hope and community support in South Africa.
