Fifteen players secured a massive win in the latest PowerBall XTRA draw by successfully matching four main numbers alongside the PowerBall. This record-breaking outcome for the third division represents a notable highlight from the recent draw, contrasting sharply with the main jackpot results where no top-tier winners were declared. According to The Citizen, this result showcases the impact of the cascading jackpot introduced by Sizekhaya.
For participants who entered the draw, the ability to confirm winnings immediately is essential. Players who purchased tickets at retail outlets can claim prizes up to R10 000 at their local participating store. Those who played online have more flexible options, including Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from the Sizekhaya iLottery Wallet, while banking app users may benefit from auto-payments directed straight to their bank accounts. These online methods are generally processed within 72 working hours.
Despite the surge of third-division winners, the main PowerBall and PowerBall XTRA jackpots remained elusive on October 2, 2026. NOWinSA reports that the R90 million main jackpot and the estimated R3 million XTRA prize rolled over due to a lack of winners matching all six required numbers. However, one individual did successfully claim R593,155.50 by matching all five main numbers in Division 2. For major prizes of R50,000 or more, winners must visit a Sizekhaya Holdings regional office to complete the necessary documentation.
The next opportunity for players to claim the rolling jackpots arrives on Tuesday, October 6. Participants are reminded that all lottery prizes must be claimed within 365 days, after which unclaimed funds are directed to the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund.
