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.
Each SA Powerball draw is conducted live in the presence of an independent auditor, and in accordance with the procedures and rules approved by the National Lotteries Commission.
Lotto players have up to 365 days from the day of the draw to claim. Prizes up to R2000 can be claimed at any retailers. Prizes between R2000 and R50000 needs to be claimed at the local post office and prizes above R50000 needs to be claimed at an ITHUBA regional office.
After expiry, half of the unclaimed prize money is deposited into the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for distribution to good causes.
