ITHUBA, the proud Operator of the National Lottery, is thrilled to announce that two lucky participants have shared the incredible R85 Million guaranteed PowerBall PLUS jackpot from draw 1561 on Friday, 8 November 2024.
The two winners who will each receive a life-changing R42.5 Million, both played via their respective banking Apps, First National Bank and Standard Bank and will be contacted by the banks to inform them of their winnings and directed to their nearest ITHUBA offices to undergo their individual claim processes.
This highly anticipated PowerBall PLUS jackpot had the talented actress, Thembisa Mdoda packing her bags to yet another holiday destination on her bucket list; while dancing extraordinaire Chad Jones was fantasizing about purchasing a mansion for his parents and broadcasting legend, Pro Verb had the future clearly mapped out for his children’s education!
ITHUBA CEO, Charmaine Mabuza, shared her excitement over the dual PowerBall PLUS jackpot win: “It is truly thrilling to see not just one, but two lucky participants claim this incredible jackpot. With both winners having played through their banking platforms, we expect a seamless process in reaching them,” said Mabuza.

“We cannot wait to meet the two winners, to learn their personal stories and usher them into their transformational journeys as multi-millionaires,” said an excited Mabuza.
