Jackpot sets out to create more millionaires tonight
The Lotto and Lotto Plus draws on Wednesday, 5 November, have a total estimated jackpot of a massive R36 million. The draw is set to take place at 8.57pm.
Detailed jackpots for tonight’s draw:
- Lotto: R22 million
- Lotto Plus1: R1 million
- Lotto Plus2: R13 million
The draw comes as Ithuba is still waiting for the R13 240 758.60 winner from the past weekend to come claim their millions. This great win was through a manual selection played at a retailer in Carltonville, Johannesburg. Another massive win from the weekend included the PowerBall Plus winner who scooped R 6 663 250.50 through a banking app.
Ithuba’s list of winners to claim their millions got longer last night when PowerBall created a new millionaire. PowerBall Plus had a lucky winner scoring R2 166 064 after placing their bet through the Capitec app.
One winner who is running out of time to claim their R2 284 810 is the PowerBall Plus winner from Mayfield Square, Johannesburg. This winner’s ticket will be expiring on 12 November 2025.
