· The South African

Strap-in for PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra on Tuesday 9 June 2026, which has seen its first rollover and prize money climbing to R143 million. If you can believe it, new operator Sizekhaya’s first-ever PowerBall draw last week Tuesday did see a very lucky someone walk away with R130 million. On the first go!

However, its second big draw has resulted in a rollover – something the operator claimed would happen less often under its mechanics. As such, R18 million is on the line for PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra on Tuesday 9 June 2026, with the latter offering up a tasty R125 million, so best you pay for that extra spin.

POWERBALL AND POWERBALL XTRA ON TUESDAY 9 JUNE 2026

What a week it’s been for the national lottery in South Africa. It started out with the old operator ITHUBA hanging up its boots, handing over a R223-million gift to the new custodian. Therefore, starting from a high baseline, the new firm was confident in more jackpot winners, paying more money, with less ‘rollover fatigue’. Nevertheless, here’s a recap of the numbers from last night’s draw, Friday 5 June 2026 that did rollover:

FRIDAY’S POWERBALL NUMBERS

Draw date: 5 June 2026

POWERBALL NUMBERS

02, 16, 33, 37, 43

PowerBall: 06

POWERBALL XTRA NUMBERS

02, 23, 44, 48, 50

PowerBall: 14

WHAT’S NEW WITH SIZEKHAYA LOTTO?

As The South African has covered, here are some of the notable change between ITHUBA and Sizekhaya. First is the cost to play PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra on Tuesday 9 June 2026. It will now set you back R10 per entry. Critically, adding the PowerBall Xtra has also doubled, now costing R5.

Likewise, the game mechanics for PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra on Tuesday 9 June 2026 are different. Not by much, however, players are required to pick five numbers from 1 to 50. And the PowerBall numbers now range from 1 to 16 (not 1 to 20 like before). So, there are slightly better odds. As ever, the argument over whether you should choose numbers manually or use an auto-generated Quick Pick rages on.
