With every passing draw this July, PowerBall outcomes have grown more varied, pointing to a cycle of high volatility.
PowerBall predictions: Friday, 25 July 2025
From the mid-range clustering seen on 4 July to the high-value spread of 18 July and the balanced, slightly low-end draw from Tuesday, 22 July, players are witnessing an unpredictable rhythm. Most notably, numbers like 08 and 10 have appeared multiple times over recent draws, while 15 remains one of the most frequently drawn numbers this month — surfacing on three occasions in the last five games.
The PowerBall number, however, has consistently dropped within the 01–17 range, suggesting that low-value PowerBall draws are dominating this stretch.
In the PowerBall Plus game, we’re seeing a much tighter loop of recurring numbers. 09, 20, and 05 have featured in multiple Plus draws over the last three weeks, with the latest combination on 22 July — 05, 07, 09, 18, 20 — falling well within the low-to-mid range bracket. That draw continued the trend of returning to “safe zones” — numbers between 01 and 30 — and mirrored the results of 11 and 18 July in structure. This kind of symmetry signals a possible holding pattern before another mix-up, and players who opt for low-to-mid combinations may still find favourable results in the short term.
Our prediction for Friday’s PowerBall draw:
- 08, 14, 26, 37, 44 PowerBall: 05
For PowerBall Plus, the predicted numbers are:
- 03, 09, 16, 20, 31 PowerBall: 10
PowerBall jackpot up for grabs tonight
The PowerBall jackpot for Friday, 25 July 2025, stands at an enormous R92 million, making it the largest pot of the year so far. No player has hit the jackpot since early July, and the last draw on Tuesday, 22 July saw three tickets win the second-tier prize of over R163,000 each — impressive, but still far from the full payout. The consistent rollovers and widening prize pool suggest an exceptionally rare jackpot configuration is still in play.
PowerBall Plus, meanwhile, is also seeing remarkable growth, now sitting at R17 million. Though the bonus game traditionally resets more frequently, its current streak mirrors the main game’s path — with no full house winners since early July. As participation grows, both games offer substantial winning opportunities, especially for players hitting the Match 4 + PowerBall and Match 5 brackets.
PowerBall jackpot trends – Here’s a weekly analysis
A close look at the payout behaviour over the past five draws reveals some fascinating dynamics. In the main PowerBall game, high-value payouts have been consistent below the jackpot level. On 22 July, three players matched five numbers for over R163,000 each. One draw earlier, on 18 July, a lone Match 5 ticket netted a player over R509,000. Even the Match 4 + PowerBall tier has produced rewards upwards of R10,000 in multiple draws — a noticeable uptick from average monthly payouts.
The PowerBall number has also been interestingly consistent. For five straight draws, it has remained between 01 and 17, never breaching the 20s. This narrow range might suggest players should focus their bonus ball selection within that space — for now. Analyst Tumelo Ndaba says this kind of range-locking is uncommon but not unheard of. “It’s not rare to see clusters dominate PowerBall bonus outcomes,” he explains. “But it’s always temporary — watch for a break in the cycle soon.”
Over in PowerBall Plus, players are winning more frequently in the mid-brackets. The latest draw saw five players match five numbers for nearly R40,000 each, and 34 others took home over R3,600 for matching four numbers plus the PowerBall. Lower-tier payouts are also consistently strong — with Match 3 + PowerBall results often hitting 1,000 winners or more per draw.
