The PowerBall jackpot has fallen, and one lucky player is about to pocket more than R93-million!
The winning ticket for draw number 1748 on Friday 21 August 2026 was purchased at Pronto Fruit and Vegetables in Molapo, Soweto.
Sizekhaya Holdings, operator of South Africa’s National Lottery, congratulates the winner and urges them to come forward to claim this life-changing prize.
“Nothing makes us happier than a winner. And this is a truly extraordinary win,” says Sizekhaya Chief Operating Officer Fundi Sithebe. “Somebody’s life changed completely on Friday night. We cannot wait to meet the winner, hear their story and celebrate this remarkable moment with them.”
The R93.5-million jackpot is one of the biggest National Lottery prizes won since Sizekhaya became the operator of the National Lottery on 1June 2026.
“At Sizekhaya, we love a winner. Our ambition is to create more winners, more often, across South Africa,” Sithebe says. “Every jackpot won represents a real person whose possibilities have changed overnight. This is what makes these moments so special.”
With a variety of National Lottery games, ticket prices and draw days, there is something for almost everyone.
“Somebody has to win,” says Sithebe. “This time, it was a player in Soweto. Next time, it could be you.”
