How do I win the South African Powerball Mega Lottery Jackpot
(how many numbers do I need to win)
The South African Powerball PowerBall® game draw machines contain 45 and 20 numbered balls respectively.
In each Draw, five balls will be drawn by a draw machine containing forty-five balls numbered from 1 to 45 inclusive and one ball (The Powerball) will be drawn by a separate draw machine containing twenty balls numbered 1 to 20 inclusive.
The first five (5) numbers drawn out of 45, are the Main Numbers.
The first number drawn out of 20, is the PowerBall Number.
If your ticket (Legally Correct) matches the five numbers and the PowerBall number drawn, then you win the Jackpot (“MATCH FIVE + ONE”).
There are also smaller prizes, if you match the Powerball, with any of the other winning numbers.
