The Powerball draw takes place twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday evening at 9pm. When you play Powerball on Betway, you could win up to R15 million and can stake as little as R1 per bet. 

Why play Powerball on Betway?

If you play in a retail outlet or online through the official website, you'll have to spend R5 per board and PowerBall Plus costs an additional R2.50 to play. With a bookmaker like Betway, you can bet as little as R1 and choose to predict as many numbers as you like—not all of them every time.

Another big advantage of playing Powerball on Betway rather than buying a physical lottery ticket or using the official site, is that you won't have to share your winnings with anybody else. No matter how many other people pick your winning numbers, the potential return stated on your Betway betslip is a 100% guaranteed payout if you win!

Types of Powerball Bets

Regular Draw without Bonus Ball

This is where you go to select the numbers you think will be drawn if you don't want to include the bonus ball. Before choosing your numbers, you'll need to select how many balls you want to predict (the fewer the easier, the more the harder it will be). If any of the balls drawn match your selections then your bet wins and you get paid out. 

Regular Draw with Bonus Ball

This is where you go to select the numbers you think will be drawn if you do want to include the bonus ball. Before choosing your numbers, you'll need to select how many balls you want to predict (the fewer the easier, the more the harder it will be). If any of the balls drawn match your selections then your bet wins and you get paid out. 

Draw Sum

This is where you go to bet on outcomes related to the Powerball draw which don't involve predicting the exact numbers that come up. Draw Sum bets include whether the sum (total) of the balls drawn will be Odd/Even, whether the sum (total) of the regular balls drawn will be Over/Under 127.5, or the sum (total) of the regular balls and bonus ball combined will be Over/Under 138.5

Bonus Ball

This is where you go to bet on the results of the Powerball Bonus Ball only. All regular balls which appear in the draw are irrelevant and won't be counted for the purposes of your bet. Bonus Ball bets include will the Bonus Ball be Odd/Even, Over/Under 10.5, a Single Digit, or the same as one of the regular balls drawn?
