About South African Powerball

South African Powerball is a twice-weekly lottery drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays. Players choose five main numbers from 1–50 and one Powerball from 1–16, aiming to match all six selections to win the jackpot.

How It Works
Choose five different main numbers from 1 to 50 and one Powerball number from 1 to 16.

During each draw, five main numbers are selected along with a separate Powerball. Your main numbers are checked against the five winning main numbers, while your Powerball is checked against the winning Powerball.

Main numbers can match in any order. The Powerball comes from a separate pool, so it can have the same value as one of your main numbers.

Match all five main numbers plus the Powerball to win the jackpot. Other qualifying combinations win prizes according to the game’s prize tiers.
Jackpot & Rollover
The South African Powerball jackpot is won by matching all five main numbers and the Powerball. If no ticket matches the winning jackpot combination, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw. When more than one ticket wins the jackpot, the prize is shared between the winning entries. Jackpot amounts are quoted in South African rand (ZAR).
