What is Australian Powerball?

Powerball launched in Australia in May 1996, originally as a supplement to Lotto games. It became a standalone national game and has produced some of Australia's largest lottery prizes.

Pick 7 numbers from 1 to 35 plus 1 Powerball from 1 to 20. The format changed to 7/35 + 1/20 in April 2018 (previously 6/40 + 1/20).

Draws run every Thursday at approximately 8:30 PM AEST/AEDT. Minimum entry is around $1.35 per game.

How the 7+1 format works

Select seven different main numbers (1-35).
Select one Powerball (1-20).
Pay per game, system entry, or syndicate share.
Thursday draw determines winners across nine divisions.

System entries and syndicates work the same way as Oz Lotto: more numbers means more combinations and higher cost, but broader coverage.
