The latest PowerBall draw on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, has set the nation buzzing, with a combined R 240 million up for grabs across the main and Xtra games.

The numbers were posted on the National Lottery’s website within ten minutes of the draw, and a quick refresh of any live feed will display the same figures.
