Three South Africans woke up millions of rands richer after Sizekhaya’s first-ever guaranteed PowerBall Xtra jackpot cascade delivered exactly what it promised: life-changing prizes and a historic National Lottery first.
With no winner matching all five numbers plus the PowerBall in last night’s draw, the estimated R139-million PowerBall Xtra jackpot automatically cascaded to Division Two, where three fortunate ticket-holders each won a life-changing R45 733 457.30!
“This is a landmark moment for the National Lottery and a wonderful day for three South Africans whose lives have changed forever,” says Fundi Sithebe, Chief Operating Officer of Sizekhaya.
“When we introduced the jackpot cascade, our goal was to ensure that the last PowerBall Xtra draw of every month creates significant winners. Last night, South Africans saw that promise become reality. Instead of another rollover, the jackpot found three homes.”
It marks the first time in South African National Lottery history that a PowerBall Xtra jackpot has cascaded to the next winning division, creating three new multimillionaires in a single draw.
