The winner has 365 days to claim the prize. All winnings are tax-free, and payouts are made within 72 hours of a valid claim.

Two individuals won R352,412 each in the second division for correctly matching five numbers. A total of 203,632 players won R10 each for correctly matching the PowerBall number.
