- ITHUBA said the Lotto draw on Wednesday 6 May 2026 produced a single R100,644,721.10 winner who has not yet come forward.
- The winning ticket was a Quick Pick bought at Checkers Hyper in Sandton City, and officials are urging local players to check their slips.
- Following the jackpot hit, Lotto pools reset for Saturday 9 May to roughly R3 million for Lotto, R3 million for Lotto Plus 1, and R5.5 million for Lotto Plus 2.
- PowerBall jackpots for Friday 8 May were estimated at R72 million and R83 million for PowerBall and PowerBall Plus, drawing strong interest ahead of the evening results.
- ITHUBA is set to end its tenure as operator on 31 May, with Sizekhaya Holdings taking over the National Lottery on 1 June, as the UK National Lottery separately searches for a £1m EuroMillions winner from County Tyrone with code MBGT03608 before a 21 October 2026 deadline.
