How to play tonight’s PowerBall
PowerBall costs R10 per board. Players match five numbers from a pool of 50, plus a PowerBall number from 1 to 16, either self-selected or via Quick Pick.
Adding PowerBall Xtra costs an extra R5 per board, giving a second shot at winning from the same numbers.
Why tonight’s PowerBall jackpot has grown to R60 million
Last Friday’s PowerBall draw produced no Division 1 winner, with the numbers 10, 11, 37, 45 and 46, plus PowerBall 11, failing to match a single ticket.
That rollover pushed the jackpot to its current R60 million.
PowerBall Xtra tells a different story after last Friday’s draw saw one player win R23 810 456.50 under Sizekhaya’s cascading jackpot rule.
The jackpot has restarted at R3 million.
