We are talking about OBSCENE amounts of money, here. The Powerball draw promises to be an epic one on Friday night, with R120 million up for grabs across both jackpots.

What is the Powerball jackpot for Friday 11 March?

The Powerball prize stands at R55 million on its own. However, this is eclipsed by the R65 million loot on offer in the Powerball Plus draw. In total, those entering both competitions are hoping to earn their share of a R120 million bonus – after the prize went unclaimed earlier this week…

The jackpots stood at R45 million and R60 million respectively on Tuesday. But no-one in South Africa was able to match a full set of numbers in either draw, and the stakes have been raised dramatically on Friday.

Another R15 million has been whacked on to the rollover total, and winning either the Powerball or Powerball Plus draw is a guaranteed life-changer for those who strike gold. If you who want to chance your arm this evening, the National Lottery has provided a handy guide for those looking to #PhandaPushaPlay.

Draw details and prize money revealed

Needless to say, Powerball fever has already gripped social media users up and down the country. Many of those who have scooped their tickets are now dreaming of what they’ll spend their winnings on. IF they get lucky…

  • The Powerball and Powerball Plus draws will take place at 21:00 on Friday 11 March
