How the Game Works
Players participate in the Powerball by choosing five main numbers from a pool of 1 to 50. In addition to these, a sixth number, the PowerBall is selected from a smaller pool, ranging from 1 to 20. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five main numbers plus the PowerBall number exactly.
Tickets are sold at R5 per board, which already includes VAT. For an additional R2.50 per board, players can opt into PowerBall Plus. This is a supplementary drawing that offers a separate jackpot prize and can increase players’ chances of winning.
Draw Schedule and Ticket Purchase Options
Powerball draws take place twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, with drawing times set for 9 PM. Ticket sales typically close 30 minutes before the draw, at 8:30 PM, ensuring all purchases are registered for the upcoming event.
Players can buy tickets from numerous retail outlets nationwide, including Pick n Pay and Shoprite stores. Online purchasing is also available via licensed platforms, providing added convenience. Some South African banks even offer Powerball ticket purchases via their mobile apps, improving accessibility for digital-savvy users.
Prize Divisions and Jackpot Rollovers
The Ithuba Powerball prize pool is divided into multiple prize divisions, reflecting the number and combination of matches. These divisions range from small prizes for matching just two numbers plus the PowerBall to the full jackpot prize for matching all five main numbers and the PowerBall.
If no player matches all six numbers, the jackpot prize rolls over, accumulating into the next draw’s prize pool. This rollover mechanism often results in significant jackpots, capturing national attention and driving ticket sales.
Responsible Playing and Understanding Lottery Odds
Ithuba emphasises responsible play to ensure the lottery remains a fun and safe activity. All lottery draws, including Powerball, are entirely random, meaning no strategy or system can guarantee a win.
Some players use statistical methods, tracking frequently drawn numbers (“hot” numbers) and those less commonly drawn (“cold” numbers) to inform their selections. However, all number combinations carry an equal chance of being drawn in every game.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot stand at approximately 1 in 42 million. Other prize divisions offer better odds, but players must always treat the game as entertainment rather than a source of income.
Recent Draw Results: 25 July 2025
In the latest Powerball draw held on 25 July 2025, the winning numbers were 03, 29, 35, 39, 42, with the PowerBall 05. For PowerBall Plus on the same date, the numbers drawn were 03, 07, 17, 25, 28, with the PowerBall 19.
Players can verify official results through the Ithuba website or various authorised media outlets. Tracking results allows players to check their tickets promptly and claim any winnings before the deadline.
What to Know Ahead of the 29 July 2025 Draw
As the Powerball draw on 29 July 2025 approaches, players should buy their tickets well before the 8:30 PM cut-off. Remember, lottery games are random, and there is no guaranteed formula for winning. The main enjoyment comes from the anticipation and the dream of a jackpot win.
Good Luck
For those who enjoy the thrill, participating responsibly enhances enjoyment and prevents potential gambling harm. Budgeting money for tickets and avoiding chasing losses are key recommendations from gambling experts.
