In the world of lottery and gambling, the world ‘Powerball’ can excite and stop people on their tracks. Who can argue with the game? Available in different countries, the Powerball lottery is known as the ‘millionaire-maker’ thanks to its record prizes. The record is currently held by the Powerball in the United States that awarded $1.586 bn jackpot shared by three lucky bettors in 2016.
Now, the tradition of awarding record prizes goes international with the availability of the game in different countries.

South Africa Powerball should not be confused with the Australian or the US version of the game. It’s a different game but it retains much of the rules that are followed in other countries. To play in this lottery, you need to select 5 numbers from 0 to 50. Also, you need to pick your Powerball from 1 to 20. Furthermore, you’ll need to indicate the number of draws you want to play. There are several boards in each ticket which means that you play several combinations at a time. There’s an option for Multi-draw which allows you to play the same set of numbers for several draws.
Another option is to play the ‘Quick Pick’ that can simplify the transaction. When you select this option, the system will randomly pick the 6 numbers for you. Once you have selected and submitted your entries, the system will generate a receipt that acts as your ticket and basis for winning the prize. Payments for the tickets are generally through online bank payment.
The draws take place on Tue 19:00 & Fri 19:00.
