How to Play
Playing Australia Powerball is easy. You choose 7 numbers from 1 to 35, then pick 1 Powerball from 1 to 20. Match enough of those numbers on Thursday night and you win a prize — it's that simple.
There are nine different prize levels, so you don't need to match everything to walk away with something. Even matching just the Powerball wins you a prize in Division 9. The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize.
You can buy tickets online right up until about half an hour before the Thursday draw. Quick picks are available if you'd rather let the system choose your numbers for you — many jackpot winners have used a quick pick!
Buy Tickets with Crypto
You can use cryptocurrency to buy your Australia Powerball tickets right here, which means no bank account headaches and no waiting around for payment approvals. It's the modern way to play the lottery.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several other cryptos are accepted. Just load up your wallet, pick your numbers, and your ticket is registered for the next Thursday draw. Easy as that.
Any prizes you win are paid straight back to your crypto wallet. The whole process — from buying to winning to getting paid — stays on-platform and hassle-free.
Prizes & Odds
Australia Powerball has nine prize tiers, meaning there are lots of ways to win beyond just the jackpot. Matching even a few numbers can put money back in your pocket.
The top prize (Division 1) starts at AUD 3 million and can grow to over AUD 100 million in a rollover run. Division 2 and 3 prizes are also worth chasing, often paying out tens of thousands of dollars.
About 1 in every 23 or 24 tickets wins some kind of prize, so your chances of getting something back are pretty decent. The smaller fixed prizes in Divisions 8 and 9 pay out frequently and keep the game fun even when the jackpot eludes you.
