According to Ithuba, the Johannesburg-based winner wishes to remain strictly anonymous.

“Therefore, in line with our mandate to maintain the winner’s confidentiality, we will not be sharing any further details about the winner,” said Ithuba in a statement.

Adding that a “life changing” R127 million estimated PowerBall jackpot was up for grabs tonight.

The draw is set to take place at 9pm.

“While the PowerBall jackpot keeps on rolling, and the jackpot amount grows to a significant value, we do also take precaution in advising our players to play responsibly.

“Players need to be 18 years and older to play our portfolio of games.

“We are very excited for this Friday’s R127 million estimated PowerBall jackpot,” said Ithuba’s CEO, Charmaine Mabuza.
