- PowerBall: R26 million
- PowerBall Plus: R43 million
PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Although every PowerBall draw is entirely random and there is no way to accurately predict outcomes, trends from recent draws sometimes highlight “hot” and “cold” numbers.
These observations may guide some players, but it’s important to remember that each number always has the same chance of appearing.
Hot numbers (frequently drawn in August 2025 so far):
- 34 – drawn in three out of five recent draws (1 Aug, 5 Aug, 12 Aug).
- 48 – appeared in two consecutive draws (5 Aug, 8 Aug, 12 Aug).
- 33 – drawn on 1 Aug and again on 15 Aug.
- 40 – repeated in back-to-back draws (1 Aug and 5 Aug).
- 01 – consistently present in PowerBall Plus (1 Aug, 5 Aug, 12 Aug).
PowerBall “hot” ball trends:
- 13, 14, and 12 appeared as PowerBall numbers in three of the last five draws.
- 17 and 04 also featured recently as PowerBalls.
Cold numbers (missing from recent draws):
- 07, 21, and 50 (last seen in July).
- PowerBall numbers like 06 and 09 have not appeared since July.
Why patterns aren’t predictions
Despite these observations, the PowerBall is a game of pure chance. No sequence or frequency guarantees future outcomes. Each ball is drawn randomly, meaning previous appearances don’t affect upcoming draws. These insights simply reflect recent results and should only be used as guidance for those interested in trends.
