The Saturday 22 August draw covered Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto 5 Max. The previous PowerBall draw took place on Friday, 21 August, with the next PowerBall draw scheduled for Tuesday, 25 August.
Therefore, anyone searching for lottery powerball results should make sure they are checking the correct draw date and game.
Lottery results for Powerball searches
Searches such as lottery results for powerball, lottery results powerball and result powerball lottery are common among South African lottery players.
However, today’s Lotto results should not be confused with PowerBall results.

The National Lottery’s official game rules confirm that Lotto is a six-number game drawn from a pool of 58 numbers, with different prize divisions depending on how many numbers and the bonus ball are matched.
How to check your Lotto ticket
Players who participated in the Saturday draw should check their tickets against the official results.
The easiest approach is to compare the six main numbers first and then check whether the bonus number has an impact on the prize category.
Do not rely solely on screenshots or social media posts when checking lottery numbers. Players should verify results through the official National Lottery channels or reputable published results.
The Citizen similarly advises players to verify their numbers through the National Lottery website because media organisations cannot accept responsibility for potential errors in published results.
Keep your ticket safe
If you believe you have won a prize, keep your original ticket safe and avoid damaging it.
Players should also follow the National Lottery’s official procedures when claiming prizes.
A lottery ticket is an important document once it contains a potentially winning combination, so it should be treated carefully until the result has been independently confirmed.
How much does Lotto cost?
A standard Lotto entry costs R5 per board, including VAT. Lotto Plus costs an additional R2.50 per board, according to published information on the Saturday draw.
Players can also access Lotto through selected banking applications, subject to the relevant terms and conditions.
Lottery outlets have a daily closing time for draw entries. Published information states that outlets close at 8:30pm on draw days, while the draw takes place later in the evening.
Players should check the current terms and conditions because times and availability can vary between different channels.
Lotto results and jackpot rollovers
The 22 August results produced several jackpot rollovers.
The Lotto jackpot was R15.5 million before the draw, while Lotto Plus 1 stood at R3 million and Lotto 5 Max at R4.5 million.
With no jackpot winner indicated in the published results for Lotto and Lotto 5 Max, players can expect the relevant jackpots to increase for subsequent draws. Lotto.net lists the next Lotto jackpot at R18 million and the next Lotto 5 Max jackpot at R5 million.
For Lotto Plus 1, the next estimated jackpot is listed at R4 million.
Next Lotto draw
Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 are drawn twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The next draw will provide another opportunity for players to win a share of the available jackpots.
Players should remember that lottery games are games of chance and that there is no guaranteed method of predicting winning numbers.
