South African PowerBall Help & FAQ
South African PowerBall has two draws a week taking place on Tuesdays and Fridays in Cape Town at just after 9pm local time. You can bet on the outcome of this draw and win the same prizes at Lottoland.
How does playing South African PowerBall at Lottoland work?
Instead of entering the official South African PowerBall lottery draw, you place a bet on the outcome. You pick the numbers you think will be drawn in the same way as if you had entered the official lottery draw. Betting with us, you win the amount that you would have won if the official prize fund was shared between you and any official lottery winners.
The results of the draw can be found here.
How do I choose a line?
Just select 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and a “PowerBall” from 1 to 20. Once you have chosen your numbers, select which draw you want to bet on, either Tuesday or Friday, and press ‘Submit’. This will take you through to a checkout – at this stage just click ‘Confirm and proceed’ to place your bet.
How do I win the Jackpot?
You will win our jackpot if your 5 main numbers and PowerBall number match those in the official South African PowerBall draw.
Can I win all the same prizes playing with Lottoland?
Betting with us, you win the amount that you would have won if the official prize fund was shared between you and any official lottery winners.
You can also go for twice the jackpot by selecting the DoubleJackpot option. See below for information on how this feature works.
How does the DoubleJackpot feature work?
The DoubleJackpot feature allows you to bet for twice the official lottery jackpot.

The prizes for all other tiers will remain the same. You will pay double the price of your normal line to activate the DoubleJackpot feature.
