Sadly not. Anyone playing PowerBall and PowerBall Plus on Tuesday 17 March 2026 for the first time has exactly the same chance as any other player. Lotto has no memory, and every draw is a separate game. As such, you should realise that 99.9% of the time the house wins!

To enter this week, simply pick five numbers from 1 to 50. And one PowerBall number from 1 to 20. The cost is R5 per board and R2.50 for the PowerBall Plus. So R7.50 in total. This represents a 1 in 42 310 200 chance to win. Plus, average PowerBall jackpot payouts are R22 million. Therefore, Tuesday’s R145 million is significantly higher, more than five times.

Remember, Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 and 2 tonight sees R67 million up for grabs. For a while the ‘lesser’ jackpot was keeping pace with PowerBall, but now the gap has grown to more than double. Saturday’s game costs R5 per board and R2.50 for Plus 1 and 2, so R10 in total. Here you choose six numbers from 1-58. Therefore, your odds of winning jackpot are a tad better at 1 in 40 310 358.

And over the years, the average Lotto jackpot payout is R5.95 million. So, more than ten times above average. If R145 million for PowerBall and PowerBall Plus on Tuesday 17 March 2026, sounds too good to be true, don’t forget that the highest-ever payout was R232-million back in February 2019.
