PowerBall R124 million winner purchased ticket via Absa banking app
The lucky player bagged a massive R124 602 697.30.
The winning ticket was purchased via the Absa banking app, with a R37.50 wager, and the participant selected their numbers manually.
In addition to the jackpot winner, the draw produced several other winners across divisions.
Seven players matched five numbers and each walked away with over R115 000 in Division 2, while 49 other participants each won over R10 000 in Division 3.
These winners purchased their tickets through a variety of convenient platforms, including in-store retailers, banking apps of various banks, the National Lottery website, the official mobile app, and USSD.
The jackpot winner is expected to make contact with ITHUBA soon, as banks notify winners of their winnings automatically.
'We are looking forward to meeting the winner and learning about their plans for this huge jackpot. We encourage all participants to check their tickets to ensure they do not miss out on winnings from other divisions,' said Charmaine Mabuza, CEO of ITHUBA.

Could it be you? R124m Powerball winner has NOT claimed cash
A single individual who won the R124 million Powerball lotto has been urged to come forward to claim their winnings. According to Ithuba, the winning ticket was bought via the Absa banking app. The winning numbers are 10, 32, 34, 40, 48, and the bonus ball was 14. According to Ithuba, the winner of the R124 million Powerball lotto has yet to confirm their winnings. Ithuba's Michelle van Trostenburg told the SABC: 'We have circumstances where people don't check their tickets. As part of the process, the winner was from an Absa bank, which means that they would have been contacted by the bank if they answered a call. Appealing to the public, she continued: 'If you bought a Powerball ticket on Tuesday evening and see a call coming through from Absa, please take it. It's to tell you to come through to the Ithuba offices to claim the R124 million'. Winners have 365 days to claim their winnings. The cash will be deposited into the bank account tax-free within 72 hours. If you purchase a ticket via your banking app, your bank will notify you of your winnings. For those who purchase physical tickets, they can take the ticket to any retail outlet to verify it. Winners who earn a substantial amount of cash, like the Powerball, will be directed to the Ithuba head office. Winners have to provide a valid identity document, proof of address, and banking details. Ithuba has a winner support system for those who win substantial amounts of cash, particularly over R50 000. 'It's important for them to understand how they're going to manage this kind of windfall. They will walk you through the entire process. According to Ithuba, lost or stolen tickets must be reported immediately. The organisation will collaborate with law enforcement to investigate and honour valid claims within 365 days of the draw.
