The PowerBall and PowerBall XTRA draws take place every Tuesday and Friday on e.tv (channel 194) and SABC at 21:00 (SA time), where participants select five main numbers from 1 to 50 and one 'PowerBall' number from 1 to 16 for an entry fee of R10.00 per board. The record prize for any lottery game in South Africa came in the PowerBall when one winner scooped an incredible R232 131 750.69 in the draw held on 19 February 2019.

The draw required players to match five main numbers and the PowerBall number to win the jackpot, but no player matched all the numbers, leading to a rollover, which means the next draw will have a significantly larger jackpot.

Winners who win R50,000 and above receive free trauma counselling from professional psychologists and financial advice from accredited financial advisors absolutely free. At the same time, winnings are paid tax-free directly into the winner's accounts. This is a major perk for winners who can use the financial assistance to secure their financial futures.

Players must be 18 years old to participate in the lottery, and ticket sales close at 20:30 on the day of a draw, which ensures that the draw remains fair and secure. The next PowerBall and PowerBall XTRA draws are scheduled for Friday, 5 June 2026.
