PowerBall Results

PowerBall is drawn at 21:00 South African time, Tuesday and Friday. Winning numbers appear on this page within minutes of the draw. The prize breakdown follows later, usually a few hours afterwards, because the operator has to reconcile ticket sales before it can confirm what each division pays.

5 main numbers from 1 to 50, plus a powerball. The PowerBall comes from its own separate set of 1 to 20, so it can repeat one of the main numbers.

1 in 42,375,200 with a single ticket. That is the number of different ways 5 numbers can be chosen from 50. Your chance of winning any prize at all is better, at roughly 1 in 18.3. Full odds for every division are on our PowerBall payouts and odds page.

Yes. Our ticket checker checks your numbers against the most recent draw, and every past draw we hold has its own page with the winning numbers on it. Browse them from the PowerBall results history. Bear in mind prizes have a claim deadline, so an old ticket may no longer be claimable even if it matched.

No. Each draw is independent, so a number that has come up often is no more likely to appear tonight than one that never has. We publish hot and cold numbers because they are interesting and because they show whether the draw looks fair, not as a system. Be wary of anyone selling predictions.
