US PowerBall Product Rules
Overview
America’s PowerBall is responsible for more record high payouts than any other event in the world, with several exceeding half a billion dollars. The draw takes place three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings in the US. The biggest US PowerBall payout of all time was won by Gloria McKenzie from Zephyrillis, Florida, who scooped $590.5m in May 2013. A single line costs just R55.00 and a Mini Bet costs just R10.00 (Note that Lottoland can at its own discretion decide to increase the price of the single line and mini bet if the underlying draw payout reaches US$1 Billion. After reaching US$1 Billion a single line bet will cost R90.00 and a Mini bet will be R15.00). You can also select the PowerPlay option for an extra R15, giving you the chance to multiply lower tier wins by up to 5x.
How do I pick my numbers?
Select five main numbers from 1-69 and a further ‘PowerBall’ number from 1-26. Should you wish to select the PowerPlay option, simply tick the box marked PowerPlay.
How do I win?
The tier 1 payout is won by matching all five main numbers and the PowerBall.
How much can I win?
The US PowerBall tier 1 payout starts at $20m* (ZAR equivalent) and increases by a minimum of $2m* (ZAR equivalent) between drawings. However that figure grows without any cap or limit creating the potential for huge tier 1 payouts. In fact, US PowerBall is responsible for three of the top five tier 1 payouts of all time with each in excess of $500 million*(ZAR equivalent). The table below is indicative and South African players will be paid in ZAR
