Eight different ways to win in South Africa

The most common way to win a prize in the South Africa Powerball game is by matching the bonus ball. You can only win this way if your ticket has six or seven main numbers correct and you have also matched the bonus number that’s drawn.

Matching five main numbers matching none of them with the bonus number will give you an instant prize of R1000 (about $100) for each line played.

If you match four main numbers and one bonus number, then you’ll win a prize worth R500 (about $50).

Three matching main numbers will net you R250 ($25), while two matching pairs on your ticket could earn up to R100 (around $10), depending on how many lines were played.
