Durban: The Powerball jackpot for tonight’s jackpot is estimated at R130 million.
If won tonight, the person would become the first Powerball jackpot winner for 2022, according to national lottery operator Ithuba.
The Powerball has rolled over 21 times.
Players have until 20.30pm on Tuesday night to purchase their tickets.
Ithuba said that while the PowerBall jackpot has not been won in the past 21 draws, the PowerBall Plus had created two new multi-millionaires this year.
The PowerBall Plus jackpot of R14.9m was bagged in the January 11 draw.
The other Powerball Plus jackpot, of R5.8m, was won in the January 18 draw.
Ithuba added that tonight’s PowerBall jackpot was one of the highest in the history of the African lottery.
Group CEO Charmaine Mabuza says the Operator has revolutionised the national lottery to ensure fair access to all.
“Ithuba has simplified participation in the national lottery by availing lottery products on various platforms, ensuring that South Africans from all walks of life have an equal opportunity to win.”
The latest winner of the Powerball jackpot was a 72-year-old from KZN who bagged R100m in November.
