Seventeen rollovers means the PowerBall jackpot for Friday night’s draw will be an estimated R70-million.

“If one player matches five correct numbers and the PowerBall at Friday's draw‚ July 15‚ they would certainly become Ithuba’s highest lottery jackpot winner‚” the National Lottery operator said after Tuesday night’s big prize proved elusive.“With stakes this high‚ everyone including non-regular lottery players across the country would be expected to try their luck‚” it added.Ithuba suggested the winner could splash out on “on the unique‚ luxurious and ultra-modern South Africa's ‘Glass House’‚ which features an award-winning design in the suburb of Rooi Els‚ overlooking False Bay in the Western Cape”‚ which is to be auctioned later this month‚ with bids starting at R20-million.The PowerBall draws are broadcast live on e.tv at 9pm. – TMG Digital..
