PowerBall Jackpot Won on March 20, 2026, Resets to R57 Million for March 24 Draw
The South African lottery saw a major development with the PowerBall jackpot of over R108 million won in the Friday, March 20, 2026, draw, after 15 consecutive rollovers without a winner. This victory ended a long buildup that had pushed the prize to significant heights, marking a positive outcome for the lucky ticket holder. However, it means the jackpot resets for the following Tuesday, March 24, 2026, draw. Ithuba, the national lottery operator, guarantees R52 million for the main PowerBall game and R5 million for PowerBall Plus, for a combined total of R57 million in potential winnings. The article recaps the March 20 winning numbers: main PowerBall numbers 05, 08, 11, 17, 41 with PowerBall 02, and PowerBall Plus numbers 12, 18, 28, 40, 45 with PowerBall 15. It notes that 2026 has already featured a high payout of R179 million in January, the second-largest in history after a R232 million win in 2019. Players are reminded that each draw is independent, with odds of 1 in 42,310,200 for the PowerBall jackpot. Entry costs R5 for PowerBall plus R2.50 for PowerBall Plus (total R7.50), and tickets can be purchased online, via app, or at retailers until 20:30 before the 21:00 draw. The piece also compares this to the ongoing Lotto jackpot at R74 million and advises on prize claiming rules, including age requirements, documentation, and time limits. While the reset lowers the prize from recent peaks, R57 million remains well above the average PowerBall payout of R22 million, still offering life-changing potential.
