Spare a thought for Gauteng residents bracing for a nine-hour Eskom outage on Friday — nothing sharpens the appetite for a windfall quite like watching your load-shedding schedule stretch into the horizon. A combined R67 million is up for grabs across tonight’s two pots (R45 million on the Powerball, R22 million on the XTRA), which is enough to fund a solar setup, a backup generator and a very generous braai for the whole street. While the grid does its thing, here are the numbers worth keeping an eye on.
Numbers updated here after the draw — Powerball and Powerball XTRA draw every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST.
