One lucky Powerball player who bought tickets via the Absa banking app walked away with the life-changing R63 million jackpot from the 30 August 2022 draw.
Your Powerball/lotto millions will find you
When players play via a banking app, any winnings up to R50 000 will be deposited directly into the player’s bank account.
Some banks can even pay up to R249 000.
Players will be contacted by their bank to notify them of their winnings over R249 000.
If the winnings are over R250 000, players are then encouraged to proceed to their nearest Ithuba regional office to process their claim with proof of identification and banking details.
“The winner will receive their winnings tax-free between 48 to 72 hours. All winners of over R50 000 are offered free financial assistance and trauma counselling said Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza.
