South Africa PowerBall Prize Divisions

SA PowerBall has nine prize divisions. The top three divisions use a pari-mutuel prize structure, meaning the applicable prize pool is shared between all qualifying winners in that division. Divisions 4 to 9 currently pay fixed prize amounts.

Current SA PowerBall winning combinations and prize structure
Prize Division	Winning Combination	Prize Structure
Division 1	5 main numbers + PowerBall	Pari-mutuel — 91% of the variable prize pool
Division 2	5 main numbers	Pari-mutuel — 6% of the variable prize pool
Division 3	4 main numbers + PowerBall	Pari-mutuel — 3% of the variable prize pool
Division 4	4 main numbers	Fixed R2,000
Division 5	3 main numbers + PowerBall	Fixed R500
Division 6	3 main numbers	Fixed R100
Division 7	2 main numbers + PowerBall	Fixed R100
Division 8	1 main number + PowerBall	Fixed R20
Division 9	PowerBall only	Fixed R10

How are PowerBall prizes calculated?

Divisions 1 to 3 are pari-mutuel. This means the available prize allocation for each division is shared between all winning entries in that division. If there is more than one jackpot-winning ticket, the Division 1 prize is shared between those winners.

Divisions 4 to 9 currently pay fixed prizes, subject to the applicable official South African National Lottery rules.

To win the PowerBall jackpot, an entry must match all 5 main numbers from 1–50 plus the PowerBall from 1–16. The current jackpot odds for one standard combination are 1 in 33,900,160.

Prize structures and fixed prize amounts are subject to the current official National Lottery game rules and may change. Pari-mutuel payouts vary according to the applicable prize pool and number of qualifying winners.

When Are SA PowerBall Draws?

South Africa PowerBall draws take place every Tuesday and Friday evening, with the main draw scheduled for approximately 20:58 SAST (South African Standard Time).

The PowerBall Xtra draw follows the main PowerBall draw. PowerBall Xtra is a separate draw using the same numbers selected for the main PowerBall entry when the Xtra option has been added.

Draw schedules and entry closing times can change, so always check the current draw information before purchasing an entry.

What Are the Odds of Winning SA PowerBall?

Under the current South African PowerBall format, players select 5 main numbers from 1–50 and 1 PowerBall from 1–16.

The odds of matching all five main numbers plus the PowerBall to win the Division 1 jackpot are:

1 in 33,900,160.

The odds of matching all five main numbers but not the PowerBall, which qualifies for Division 2, are approximately:

1 in 2,260,011.

The lowest PowerBall prize is awarded for matching the PowerBall only. Under the current 1–16 format, the odds of this result are approximately:

1 in 28.

The 2026 change reduced the PowerBall range from 1–20 to 1–16, improving the jackpot odds from approximately 1 in 42.4 million to 1 in 33.9 million.

These are mathematical probabilities for one standard combination. Every valid PowerBall combination has the same chance of being drawn, and no number-selection method can guarantee a win.

For a full explanation, read our SA PowerBall Odds 2026 guide .

How Does SA PowerBall Work?

South Africa PowerBall uses a two-pool number format. For one standard entry, players select:

5 main numbers from 1 to 50
1 PowerBall number from 1 to 16

The PowerBall is drawn separately from the five main numbers and plays an important role in determining the prize division.

To win the Division 1 jackpot, an entry must match all 5 main numbers plus the PowerBall. Lower prize divisions are available for other qualifying combinations, including entries that match the PowerBall with fewer main numbers.

The current jackpot odds for one standard PowerBall combination are 1 in 33,900,160.

What Is PowerBall Xtra?

PowerBall Xtra is an optional add-on to the main South African PowerBall game. It gives your selected PowerBall numbers a second, separate draw for an additional cost.

When you add PowerBall Xtra, the same 5 main numbers from 1–50 and the same PowerBall from 1–16 are entered into a separate PowerBall Xtra draw.

PowerBall Xtra cannot be played on its own. You must first enter the main PowerBall draw and then add the Xtra option.

The number format is the same as the main PowerBall game, so the Division 1 odds are also 1 in 33,900,160 for one standard combination.

The current official base price of PowerBall Xtra is R5 per standard line, in addition to the R10 main PowerBall entry.

PowerBall Xtra has its own separate winning numbers and prize pool, so prize amounts can differ from those in the main PowerBall draw. Adding Xtra increases the number of draws you enter, but it also increases the total cost and does not guarantee a prize.

How Do You Win SA PowerBall?

To win the SA PowerBall Division 1 jackpot, an entry must match all 5 main numbers plus the PowerBall.

PowerBall also has eight lower prize divisions, so you can still win by matching fewer numbers.

In total, SA PowerBall has 9 prize divisions. The amount won depends on the combination of main numbers and PowerBall matched, as well as the applicable prize structure for that division.

The top three prize divisions are pari-mutuel, meaning the available prize pool is shared between qualifying winners. Lower divisions currently pay fixed prize amounts.

The lowest winning combination is matching the PowerBall only, which currently qualifies for a fixed R10 prize.

How Do You Choose SA PowerBall Numbers?

To win the SA PowerBall Division 1 jackpot, your entry must match all 5 main winning numbers from 1–50 plus the PowerBall from 1–16.

You can select your own numbers manually or use Quick Pick to generate a random valid combination for the draw.

Quick Pick and manually selected numbers have the same mathematical chance of winning. No number-selection method, system or pattern can guarantee a prize.

What Is the Biggest SA PowerBall Jackpot Ever Won?

The largest SA PowerBall jackpot ever won was R232,131,750.69, claimed by a single winning ticket in the draw held on 19 February 2019.

The record-breaking ticket was purchased in the Western Cape and belonged to a Cape Town man in his 50s. The jackpot had grown after a long series of rollovers before one ticket finally matched all 5 main numbers plus the PowerBall.

The R232.1 million prize remains the biggest SA PowerBall jackpot on record as of 2026.

The second-largest PowerBall jackpot was won on 20 January 2026, when a single entry won approximately R178.96 million.

Large jackpots do not improve the mathematical chance of winning. Under the current PowerBall format of 5 numbers from 1–50 plus 1 PowerBall from 1–16, the Division 1 jackpot odds are 1 in 33,900,160 per standard combination.
