How PowerBall Plus Works
PowerBall Plus operates as a secondary draw using the same numbers selected for the main game. This means players automatically get a second opportunity to win without choosing new numbers. While the odds remain identical, prize payouts are generally lower than the main jackpot.
The feature was introduced in November 2015 and has since become a popular add-on for players looking to increase their chances.
Prize Distribution Explained
Prize payouts in both PowerBall and PowerBall Plus follow a structured system. Around 50% of total ticket sales is allocated to the prize pool. Fixed prizes are awarded first in the lower divisions, while the remaining funds are distributed across higher divisions.
Winnings are shared among all winners in each category, except for the lowest divisions where fixed payouts apply. If no jackpot winner emerges, the prize rolls over to the next draw, often leading to significantly larger jackpots over time.
The largest PowerBall win in South African history reached an astonishing R232 million, highlighting the life-changing potential of these draws.
