# The National Lottery says nine lucky players from across South Africa won over 2.8-million-rand each in Friday’s PowerBall cascading jackpot. Winning tickets were purchased in places such as Makhanda, Mthatha, George, and Alberton. This follows September’s creation of 15 millionaires in one night. The Lottery says smaller prizes can be claimed immediately at retail stores, while larger winnings are paid within 72 hours via online banking or EFT transfers from approved channels.
