Two people have become instant multi-millionaires after bagging the Powerball Plus and Lotto jackpot. 

According to National Lottery Ithuba, the first winner won R25,345,306.90 in the PowerBall jackpot from the June 27, 2025, draw.

The winner played via a banking app with a R37.50 wager and used the Quick Pick selection method.

The second weekend winner of the Lotto jackpot from June 28, 2025, draw paid out a whopping R8,952,821.60. 

The ticket was purchased from a store in Potchefstroom in the North West with a R80 wager using the manual selection method.

Ithuba CEO Charmaine Mabuza said: "This weekend was truly remarkable, with one player hitting the PowerBall jackpot and another scooping the Lotto jackpot.

"Both winners took a chance on different National Lottery games, and it paid off spectacularly.

"Two lucky individuals are now entering the second half of the year as multimillionaires, and what a thrilling way to kick off the final stretch."

Ithuba encouraged both winners to come forward and claim their winnings as quickly as possible.

"The winner who played through a banking app has been notified by their bank, and we prompt the participants who played at a retailer in Potchefstroom to promptly check their tickets."

Winners of R50,000 and more receive free counselling.

Ithuba said the objective is to equip winners with the knowledge and tools they need to make smart decisions, achieve long-term financial stability, and transform their lives in meaningful ways.

All winners have 365 days from the draw date to claim their winnings.
