However, even if you don’t hit the jackpot, the secondary prizes can easily cover up the cost of your ticket.

Buy SA Powerball online for the prizes

The Powerball offers 9 prize categories, including the jackpot. There is actually no higher ceiling in the prize pool of the Powerball. When you buy SA Powerball online and participate in the game, there’s one in an eight chance of winning a prize, ranging from R10 to the jackpot.

However, since there are millions of possibilities of the number combinations, it’s common that a week goes by without a winner. If that happens, the prize for the jackpot will be added to the next week’s prize. Starting at R40 million, the prize can go up to a hundred million. There has been a case in the US where the prize has gone up to 1.5 billion US dollars. If there’s more than one jackpot winner, they will evenly divide the prize. But the chances of that happening is extremely low.

The value of the prize varies depending on the number of people who got them right and the size of the prize pool. If you get only the Powerball right, you’ll get R10 and if one more regular ball is added to that, the prize will increase by R5. These two combinations are the only ones with a fixed reward. After giving those out, they decide the reward for the rest of the combinations basing on the number of participants.

When are the draws?

For the SA Powerball, the draws are broadcast at 21.00 on every Tuesday and Friday. The results are out in fifteen minutes at the most. However, if you get a call claiming that you’ve won a lottery, chances are high that they are scams. Always make sure to check the results yourself or take it from a reliable source before handing out your financial information.
