The draw will take place on Tuesday, 18 November, shortly after 9pm.
PowerBall and PowerBall Plus estimated jackpots:

From a modest R15 wager, one lucky player has become a multi-millionaire. We look forward to welcoming the winner as they begin the claims process, and we extend our warm congratulations not only to them, but to all players who secured prizes across the lower divisions”
