How to participate in the lottery
Entry into the PowerBall draw costs R5 per board, inclusive of VAT. According to the National Lottery, players can opt for the PowerBall Plus game for an additional R2.50 per board. Sales for all draws close at 8.30pm on the day of the event, with the official draw taking place at 9pm. Tickets can be purchased at authorized retail outlets or through various banking applications, subject to individual provider terms and conditions.
Digital vs. retail purchasing
While retail outlets remain the traditional method for entry, banking apps have streamlined the process for many users. The primary difference lies in convenience: digital entries automatically notify winners of their status, whereas retail players must manually check their tickets against published results. Both methods rely on the same centralized database maintained by the National Lottery to determine winners.
Always keep your physical ticket in a safe place. If you play via a banking app, ensure your contact details are up to date so you receive timely notifications regarding your winnings.
