It’s a great morning for one lucky PowerBall jackpot winner. According to the lottery operator, the player won the estimated R95-million on Friday 21 August 2026’s big roll, draw number 1748.

Specifically, the prize-money breakdown was R93 523 480.

His or her winning numbers were:

  • 02, 04, 05, 24, 49
  • PowerBall Number: 04
  • Jackpot Winners: 1 player
  • Total Winners (All Divisions): 186 255 ticket holders won cash prizes

It is unknown at the time of publishing where or how the winning PowerBall jackpot ticket was purchased.

However, Sizekhaya urges all players to check ticket details and verify winnings on the official National Lottery Website.

More good news is that PowerBall XTRA was unwon and therefore remains at a fairly high R20 million for the end-of-month cascading draw.

Should it reach Friday 28 August 2026, it is a guaranteed split win …

R95-MILLION POWERBALL JACKPOT HAS BEEN WON

Leading up to the PowerBall jackpot, playing for R112 million on Friday 21 August 2026, the game had been rolling over regularly.

Specifically, 13 times, over six-and-a-half weeks, since the last big payout of R72 million back on Tuesday 3 July 2026. So, you could say it was lucky number 13 for this week’s new multi-millionaire.

Moreover, Sizekhaya’s Head of Marketing, Kgothatso ‘KG’ Mashile, congratulated the big winner and encouraged them to claim their prizes as soon as possible. “We look forward to welcoming them when they come forward to claim their prizes. Winning the PowerBall jackpot is an extraordinary moment. We encourage the winner to take a deep breath and seek sound financial advice as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives.” Mashile concluded.

PowerBall jackpot winnings are valid for 365 days from the date of the draw and can be paid out like so:

  • Small prizes (up to R4 999) get paid out directly at licensed retailers.
  • Mid-tier prizes (R5 000 to R49 999) can be claimed at selected partner banks.
  • Online and banking-app players have prizes up to R249 999 deposited automatically into their accounts.
  • And anything above R49 999 (none banking app) requires an in-person visit to a Sizekhaya regional office, with the original ticket and a valid South African ID.
