South Africa PowerBall jackpot trends (Sept-Oct 2026)

Overview

Following the R93.5 million win on 21 August 2026, the South African PowerBall and PowerBall XTRA jackpots have continued to roll over. In early September, the PowerBall jackpot rolled over from R25 million to an estimated R27 million, while the PowerBall XTRA jackpot rose to an estimated R4 million. By 22 September 2026, the PowerBall jackpot entered its ninth consecutive rollover, with the estimated prize for the upcoming Friday draw reaching R58 million, while the PowerBall XTRA jackpot rose to an estimated R17 million, creating a combined estimated jackpot of R75 million.

On 6 October 2026, the PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra jackpots remained unclaimed, with their combined estimated value reaching R103 million. However, three players shared the Daily Lotto jackpot in that draw. In the subsequent draws held on Friday, 9 October 2026, the PowerBall jackpot rolled over again after no Division 1 winner was declared, leaving the prize at an estimated R106 million. The PowerBall Xtra top prizes also remained unclaimed. In contrast, the Daily Lotto draw on 9 October saw four players sharing the top prize, with each receiving R133,806.

By 10 October 2026, the R106 million PowerBall jackpot had rolled over once more. Meanwhile, the Daily Lotto draw on that date saw two players share a R500,000 jackpot, with each receiving R215,141.40. In the draws held on 16 October 2026, the PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra jackpots remained unclaimed once again. While the top prizes were not won, 16 players won R35,785 each in the Match 4 + PowerBall category. In the Daily Lotto draw on 17 October 2026, three players matched all five numbers to win R140,138 each. On 26 October 2026, a single winner claimed the Daily Lotto prize of R429,551.50.
