Another round of PowerBall, and still no jackpot winner!

Now it's a whopping R120 million, making it one of the biggest jackpots in South Africa.

Taking a chance on a life-changing bet can be filled with excitement, thrill, and a bit of nervous anticipation.

Although the odds are slimmer than a pencil line, there's no harm in trying, especially in today's economic rollercoaster.

To put into perspective exactly how slim the odds are, Business Tech shares that your chances of winning the South African National Lottery are like finding a needle in a haystack – 1 in 20,358,520.

On the other hand, the PowerBall odds toughen up even more, offering a staggering 42,375,200 combinations when choosing 5 from 50 numbers and 1 from 20 numbers.

Interestingly, your odds of being struck by lightning are 1 in 350,000 – this means that you're 58 times more likely to get struck by lightning that winning the Lotto jackpot.
