KAMPALA, UGANDA – One lucky player has won over UGX 100 million in the Uganda National Lottery’s POWERBALL special roll-down draw, which took place on Friday, November 1, 2024.
The winning numbers for draw number 43 were 28, 30, 33, 36, 46, with the POWERBALL number 8. The roll-down draw was triggered after no player matched the jackpot, which had grown to UGX 1.5 billion since June 1, 2024.
