Powerball Games
Standard
A standard game is made up of 6 main numbers and 1 Powerball number. Each standard game gives you one chance of winning a prize. Game numbers can be chosen manually or at random using QuickPick.
System
A system allows you to play more numbers than a standard entry providing you with an entry covering every combination of the numbers you have chosen. This type of entry allows players to increase their chances of winning a prize by playing a wider range of number combinations.
Super Combo
A Super Combo entry lets you play more number combinations than a standard game entry, but does not cover all possible number combinations of a selected set of numbers like a System entry does.
PowerHit
PowerHit ticket increases your chance of winning Powerball by automatically playing every possible Powerball number. You’ll choose 6 numbers from 1 to 40 and the computer will use these numbers across 20 games – one for every possible Powerball number.
Syndicate
Syndicates give you more chances to win by covering a greater combination of numbers and sharing the cost between the members of a group. Playing more games increases the chance of winning a prize. If the syndicate ticket wins a prize the total prize will be divided equally among all of the members of the syndicate.
