The Powerball and Powerball Plus results for 18 February 2025 have been announced, with the winning numbers being 16, 19, 34, 36, 43 and Powerball 16 for the Powerball draw, and 04, 12, 24, 40, 49 and Powerball 04 for the Powerball Plus draw. Players must be 18 years or older and are reminded to play responsibly. The National Lottery operator, ITHUBA, has been making headlines with its recent winners, including a lucky player who won over R19 million in the Powerball jackpot on February 7, 2025.

This winner, who is one of the nine multi-millionaire winners across all National Lottery games since the beginning of the year, had a 'hunch' that it was going to be his lucky day and decided to play Powerball despite not usually playing when the jackpots are not very high. He spent R15 on his winning ticket, which he purchased via a banking app, and opted for a Quick-Pick. The winner plans to use his winnings to transform his house into his dream home, start his own business, and explore his passions for hiking, camping, and swimming, ultimately securing a financially free future for himself and his family with the help of financial advice.

In another recent win, a player bagged more than R4 million in the Powerball jackpot on Tuesday, with the winning ticket purchased through TymeBank with a wager of R22.50 using the quick pick selection method. ITHUBA is searching for this new multimillionaire and is excited to hear how the win will change their life. Since January, 10 lucky players have become instant multimillionaires across Lotto and Powerball games, with ITHUBA paying out R486 million in winnings this year. Winners have 365 days from the draw date to claim their prize and receive trauma counselling and financial advice to ensure they are well equipped to manage their new wealth.

The stories of these winners serve as a reminder that any day and any draw can be a lucky one, and that playing the lottery can change one's life forever. ITHUBA CEO Charmaine Mabuza congratulated the winners and encouraged players to trust their instincts and purchase a PowerBall ticket, as one never knows when they might strike it lucky. The National Lottery has been making a significant impact on the lives of its players, and its recent winners are a testament to the life-changing power of the lottery.

For those interested in playing the Powerball, the results are announced regularly, and players can check the winning numbers on the National Lottery website or through various other channels. With its life-changing jackpots and inspiring stories of winners, the Powerball continues to be a popular game among South Africans, offering a chance to win big and make one's dreams a reality. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, the Powerball is definitely worth a try, and who knows, you might just become the next big winner.
