Free electricity sounds like the dream until you hit that little footnote asking who’s actually going to pay for it, and right now that’s the question keeping half of us up at night. Somebody, somewhere, always foots the bill, which is exactly why a windfall with no strings attached feels so appealing. Tonight’s Powerball puts R95 million on the table and Powerball XTRA adds R17 million, bringing the combined jackpot to a rather cheerful R112 million.
Numbers updated here after the draw. Powerball and Powerball XTRA draw every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST.
