Draw details and prize breakdown

The ITHUBA board confirmed the numbers drawn on Tuesday evening, 12 August 2025, for both the regular PowerBall and the optional PowerBall PLUS game. The PowerBall draw featured five main balls ranging from 1 to 50 and a separate PowerBall number selected from 1 to 20. In the PLUS segment, a second set of five numbers and a bonus ball were drawn, giving participants an extra route to larger payouts.

Here are the winning combinations:

• PowerBall main numbers: 07, 14, 23, 31, 42
• PowerBall bonus: 09
• PowerBall PLUS numbers: 03, 18, 27, 36, 45
• PowerBall PLUS bonus: 12

Prize tiers are based on how many of the main numbers and the bonus ball a ticket matches. The structure looks like this:

1. Match 5 main numbers + PowerBall – Jackpot (starts at R30 million)
2. Match 5 main numbers – Second prize (around R1 million)
3. Match 4 main numbers + PowerBall – Third prize (approximately R150 000)
4. Match 4 main numbers – Fourth prize (about R20 000)
