South African PowerBall has two draws a week taking place on Tuesdays and Fridays in Cape Town at just after 9pm local time. You can bet on the outcome of this draw and win the same prizes at Lottoland.
How does playing South African PowerBall at Lottoland work?
Instead of entering the official South African PowerBall lottery draw, you place a bet on the outcome. You pick the numbers you think will be drawn in the same way as if you had entered the official lottery draw. Betting with us, you win the amount that you would have won if the official prize fund was shared between you and any official lottery winners.
The results of the draw can be found here.
How do I choose a line?
Just select 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and a “PowerBall” from 1 to 20. Once you have chosen your numbers, select which draw you want to bet on, either Tuesday or Friday, and press ‘Submit’. This will take you through to a checkout – at this stage just click ‘Confirm and proceed’ to place your bet.
How do I win the Payout?
You will win the Top Payout if your 5 main numbers and PowerBall number match those drawn in the official South African PowerBall draw.
Can I win all the same prizes playing with Lottoland?
Betting with us, you win the amount that you would have won if the official prize fund was shared between you and any official lottery winners.
You can also go for twice the Top Payout by selecting the DoubleJackpot option. See below for more information on how this feature works.
How does the DoubleJackpot feature work?
The DoubleJackpot feature allows you to bet for twice the official lottery Top Payout. For example, if the official South African PowerBall Top Payout is R1 million and you activate DoubleJackpot, you will play for a Top Payout of R2 million. The prizes for all other prize tiers remain unchanged. Activating DoubleJackpot doubles the cost of your selected line.

Is the payout guaranteed? How do I know?
At Lottoland, we guarantee payment of all valid winnings, regardless of the Top Payout amount.At Lottoland, you bet on the outcome of the official draw. The experience is similar to playing the official lottery, with the key difference being that Lottoland accepts the bet and pays any winnings. For smaller prize tier payments, winnings are paid directly from the funds generated through total ticket sales. To cover larger prize payouts, we maintain insurance policies that protect against Top Payout wins and substantial prize payouts. Part of the ticket price contributes towards the cost of this coverage.
What is an Auto-renewal?
Auto-renewal removes the hassle of betting on repeat lines and the fear of missing out on that big payout win. Our Auto-renew feature allows you to set up a running bet or bets on a given lottery draw. The Auto-renewal is open ended and will run for as long as you want it too. You can cancel at any time.
