Before each draw, ITHUBA estimates and advertises the SA Powerball jackpot based on expected ticket sales and the total prize pool is calculated at 50% of total sales. In the event that the jackpot of a specific draw is not won, it is rolled over to the next draw and added to the jackpot amount of that specific draw. A jackpot will rollover for as many times as possible until it is won.

A guaranteed Jackpot prize is not affected by sales, unless a higher Powerball Jackpot amount is expected because of rollovers. In the event that a rollover coincides with a guaranteed jackpot, the rollover amount is included in the guaranteed jackpot.

In cases where the estimated Jackpot amount exceeds a guaranteed Jackpot amount, the guaranteed amount will fall away to a higher estimated amount.
