ITHUBA, the proud operator of the National Lottery, is thrilled to announce that the winner who won over R110 MILLION PowerBall jackpot has finally come forward to claim her winnings! The winning ticket, purchased through the FNB App with a R30 wager using the Quick Pick selection method, was purchased for draw number 1604 on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
A regular participant in National Lottery games, the winner described the surreal moment when she realized she had won the jackpot: “I saw a message from FNB about winning, but I didn’t immediately comprehend it,” she recalled. “Then I started receiving calls from an 087 number, but I ignored them, like I always do. The caller was persistent for a few days, and when I finally answered, it was the bank notifying me that I had won the PowerBall jackpot!”
Although the news was exciting, she admitted it took a few days for the reality to fully set in. Nervous but grateful, she says claiming her winnings marks the beginning of a new chapter — one she plans to navigate with gratitude, caution, and purpose.
“As a healthcare worker, our shifts are long and demanding. Many of us are burnt out, but we work extra hours just to make ends meet,” she said. “Now, I can finally take time off to rest. I’ll be securing the basics for my family — a home and a car — but also, I want to enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures. I’ve never been able to take my kids on a holiday, so that’s definitely on my list. Nothing over the top, we’ll start with a trip to Durban.”
The winner shared this heartfelt win also brings new meaning to her upcoming birthday. “I’ve never had a real birthday party, just small lunches. This year will be different. I won’t tell anyone, but I’ll know deep down that I’m celebrating something much bigger — a transformation that I only ever dreamt of.”
With her children’s future in mind, she shared that a portion of the money will go toward their education. She also expressed her intention to safeguard her winnings and make wise financial decisions with the support of ITHUBA’s financial advisory services.
“I want to preserve this wealth and make smart choices, so I’ll be using the financial counselling now and going forward.” When asked if she plans to retire, she replied: “Healthcare work isn’t just a job you resign from, it’s a calling. I’ll continue working, but now I’ll do it for the love of it, not because I have to.”
ITHUBA CEO, Charmaine Mabuza, extended her heartfelt congratulations to the winner and her family:
“We’re overjoyed that our biggest PowerBall winner of the year has come forward. We are even more excited that this win has gone to someone who has dedicated her own life to serving others for so long. We wish her and her loved ones nothing but success and happiness in this exciting new chapter.”

It was only after ITHUBA confirmed that indeed I held the winning ticket that I believed it."
Expressing gratitude and a sense of closure, the winner revealed plans to honour his late parents: “My parents passed away a few years ago, it caused me a lot of pain that I could not afford to install tombstones for them.

Speaking to ITHUBA, the winner, in the company of his wife, expressed that this money will enable him and his wife to see their daughter, whom they haven’t seen in 5 years: “Our daughter stays oversees, so we have not seen her in 5 years due to lack of finances. What’s worse, she has a daughter that we have never met. We will use a portion of this money to travel to the Unites States to see our daughter for the first time in years, and meet our grandchild for the first time. “We want to buy a special gift for the little one, not sure what yet, but something meaningful, that represents Africa, so that she always remembers that she has people who love her on the other side of the world”, said the emotional winner.
