Powerball Plus Odds of Winning
The odds of winning in Powerball Plus are similar to when you’re playing South Africa’s Powerball, because the game setup is the same. Your goal is to correctly pick six numbers: five from the number range 1-50 and one Powerball in the range 1-20. There’s a 1 in 42,375,200 chance that you’ll get this right.
Those odds are already excellent in comparison to some other international lotteries like Mega Millions. And winning the lowest tier has easy odds of 1 in 35. This shows why it’s worth using this extension of the Powerball game – it’s absolutely worth a try when you look at the 9 prize categories’ odds.
| Category | General Numbers | Powerball | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 1 | 1:42,375,200 |
| 2 | 5 | 0 | 1:2,230,274 |
| 3 | 4 | 1 | 1:188,334 |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 1:9,912 |
| 5 | 3 | 1 | 1:4,280 |
| 6 | 3 | 0 | 1:225 |
| 7 | 2 | 1 | 1:299 |
| 8 | 1 | 1 | 1:57 |
| 9 | 0 | 1 | 1:35 |
It’s worth mentioning that game rules stipulate that if there aren’t any winners for a certain category from tier 2 to 7, it will benefit winners in the tier below. This happens thanks to regulations that require the money to roll down to the tier below. For example, if no one picks five numbers correctly to be a winner in category 2, the winners in category 3 will be allocated bigger prizes thanks to the tier 2 prize money rolling down.
Powerball Plus Prize Breakdown
You won’t know your exact Powerball Plus prize until the draw, because prize money is firstly determined by ticket sales. With the sales only closing shortly before each draw, the prizes for the different categories are usually published along with the Powerball Plus winning number results.
Furthermore, the number of winners in a specific category further affects the prizes. The percentage of the prize pool that is designated for a certain tier will be divided between the players who matched the number combination associated with that category.
Certain tiers do have fixed prizes and you can see that any win covers much more than the cost of a Powerball Plus ticket.
| Category | Numbers Matched | % of Prize Pool / Fixed Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5+1PB | 54.46% |
| 2 | 5 | 4% |
| 3 | 4+1PB | 2.5% |
| 4 | 4 | 4.24% |
| 5 | 3+1PB | 4.8% |
| 6 | 3 | 4% |
| 7 | 2+1PB | 3% |
| 8 | 1+1PB | ZAR7.50 |
| 9 | 1PB | ZAR5.00 |
