PowerBall and PowerBall Plus Results | 2 December 2025 have been officially confirmed by the ITHUBA National Lottery. South Africans waited with bated breath on Tuesday night as a massive combined jackpot of approximately R73 million was on the line.
The draw, which took place at 21:00, has potentially changed the lives of lucky ticket holders across the nation. Whether you played via your banking app, at a local retailer, or through the online platform, it is time to grab your ticket and verify your numbers.
PowerBall Winning Numbers
The PowerBall winning numbers for Tuesday, 2 December 2025, are as follows:
-
16, 21, 33, 39, 46
-
PowerBall: 12
This draw featured a guaranteed jackpot of R62 million. The sequence of numbers drawn was relatively spread out, with a high concentration in the 30s and 40s, which often catches out players who rely on birthdays or calendar dates (1-31).
Early projections indicate that the jackpot may have rolled over yet again, with estimates for the next draw on Friday soaring towards the R70 million mark. If no one has matched all five numbers plus the PowerBall, the prize pool will continue to grow, fueling even more excitement for the upcoming weekend draw.
PowerBall Plus Draw Outcomes
For those who opted into the supplementary game, the PowerBall Plus draw offered a respectable estimated jackpot of R11 million. The winning numbers for this draw are:
-
11, 27, 29, 36, 48
-
PowerBall: 02
The PowerBall Plus draw often provides a second chance at becoming a millionaire. Interestingly, the number 29 has appeared in recent draws, solidifying its status as a “hot” number for this period. Players are urged to check their tickets carefully, as there are multiple prize divisions. Even if you missed the jackpot, matching 3 or 4 numbers can still yield significant cash payouts.
ITHUBA National Lottery: Claiming Your Prize
The ITHUBA National Lottery operator reminds all players that they have 365 days from the date of the draw to claim their winnings.
How to claim:
-
Winnings under R2,000: Can be claimed at any official National Lottery retailer.
-
Winnings between R2,000 and R50,000: Are payable at authorised Prize Payment Centres, typically found at local Post Offices.
-
Winnings over R50,000: Winners must visit one of ITHUBA’s regional offices to process their claim. You will need your physical ticket (signed at the back), proof of identity (ID book or card), and a bank statement not older than 3 months.

However, large jackpot wins will still require you to visit an ITHUBA office for verification and financial counseling.
South Africa Lottery Results Analysis
Analyzing the South Africa lottery results for this Tuesday reveals some interesting trends. The PowerBall (12) in the main draw and the PowerBall (02) in the Plus draw are both low even numbers, a combination that statistical players often watch closely.
With the festive season fast approaching, the participation in the lottery is expected to spike. The allure of entering the new year as a multi-millionaire drives ticket sales, contributing to the rapid growth of the jackpot pools.
Responsible Play
As always, responsible gaming is paramount. Players must be 18 years or older to participate. The National Lottery is a game of chance, and it is important to remember that the odds of winning the jackpot are slim. Players should only spend what they can afford to lose and not view the lottery as an investment strategy or a way to pay off debt.
