Powerball Player Procures Prosperous Payday: R10 to R250K at FirstBet SA

An extremely lucky member of FirstBet South Africa recently celebrated a prosperous win on the South African National Lottery’s Powerball draw.

With just a R10 bet on the outcome of the draw, the player secured a R250,000 payout, plus the return of their original stake.

The winning numbers for the 1,714th edition of the South African Powerball were 16, 19, 24, 25, 41, with 20 as the Powerball number. While the total jackpot for the draw stood at more than R48 million, the FirstBet player landed a substantial R250K prize after correctly predicting the required numbers in their winning category.

A total of 4,493,148 entries were recorded for the official lottery draw, but that didn’t matter for the FirstBet Numbers bettor, with FirstBet celebrating the win on its official X account, posting: “Real players. Real moments”.

While official lotteries are geographically restricted, there are betting sites like FirstBet that allow you to simply bet on the results of each draw instead.

In the Numbers section of the site, you can bet on lotteries from all around the world, including the UK Thunderball, Russia Gosloto, USA Mega Millions, EuroMillions, and, of course, the SA Powerball.

Simply choose a lottery, select your numbers, and add to your betting ticket. Bet more, win more. You can even see recent hot and cold numbers, or use the Quick Pick feature for lucky-dip style betting.

Alternatively, you can bet on Odd/Even and High/Low markets, and even numbers to NOT be drawn.
