No Winners for Powerball and Powerball Plus Jackpot: Estimated Jackpots Rise as Millions Remain Up for Grabs
In the latest draw held on October 22, 2024, there were no winners for the Powerball or Powerball Plus jackpot, much to the disappointment of hopeful players. The Powerball jackpot was estimated at R15 million, while the Powerball Plus jackpot stood at R59 million.
According to the draw sheet from National Lottery Ithuba, the absence of jackpot winners means the amounts will roll over for the next draw, creating an even larger prize pool.
Notable Winners from the Draw

In the Powerball Plus draw, three fortunate players matched five numbers and will each receive R51,896. Furthermore, 97,889 players who correctly picked the Powerball number will each win R5.
Upcoming Draws and Growing Jackpots

The increasing jackpots heighten excitement for players, presenting new opportunities for life-changing wins.
Earlier this month, an art teacher won over R43 million in the Powerball jackpot, sharing plans to splurge on a grand piano and treat her family to a tropical holiday. Remarkably, she purchased her winning ticket using the Absa banking app. Despite her newfound wealth, she expressed her intention to continue working, citing her passion for teaching.
Although no one won the jackpots in Tuesday night’s Powerball and Powerball Plus draws, the rolling jackpots offer thrilling prospects for players. Keep an eye on the next draw, and as always, play responsibly.
