Participation in the PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws requires a minimum investment of R5 per board, including VAT, for a PowerBall entry. Adding a PowerBall Plus entry increases the cost by an additional R2.50 per board. Players can also access the lottery through selected banking applications, subject to individual terms and conditions.

The increasing jackpot amounts reflect the lack of a major winner in recent draws. The previous PowerBall and PowerBall Plus results from Tuesday, February 17, 2026, saw numbers 05, 15, 23, 24, and 42 drawn for PowerBall, with a Powerball of 05. PowerBall Plus numbers were 23, 24, 30, 41, and 43, also with a Powerball of 05. These draws, like the most recent, did not produce a jackpot winner.

A detailed breakdown of payouts for the February 20th draw reveals a tiered prize structure. For PowerBall, matching all five numbers plus the Powerball would have yielded the R50 million jackpot, but with no winners, the prize rolls over to the next draw. Matching five numbers without the Powerball resulted in a payout of R88,472 to each of the five winners, totaling R442,359. Lower tiers, such as matching four numbers plus the Powerball, awarded R11,080 to 25 winners, for a total of R277,008. The payouts continue down to matching just one number plus the Powerball, which awarded R15 to 77,628 winners, totaling R1,164,420.

The PowerBall Plus payouts follow a similar structure. No winners matched all five numbers plus the Powerball, resulting in a rollover of the R25 million jackpot. Matching five numbers without the Powerball awarded R191,112 to one winner. Matching four numbers plus the Powerball yielded R5,203 to 23 winners, totaling R119,676. The lowest tier, matching zero numbers plus the Powerball, awarded R5 to 106,245 winners, totaling R531,225.
