How to play Powerball
You will need to select seven main numbers between 1 and 35, and one Powerball number between 1 and 20. The draw itself sees balls drawn from two separate barrels, the first of which contains the main numbers and the other of which contains the Powerball.
How many numbers to win Powerball?
Seven balls are initially chosen from the first barrel, containing numbers 1 to 35, before the Powerball is selected from the second, which contains balls numbered 1 to 20. Selecting the Powerball is necessary to win the top draw, though you can win Divisions two, four and seven without it, provided you pick at least five of the main numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Oz Lotto
As Australia’s first truly national lottery, Oz Lotto is owned and operated by the Tatts group, the same people behind long-running lotteries such as Powerball, Tattslotto and several other well-known state-based lotteries.
With its first draw taking place in February 1994, Oz Lotto now has a 27-year history as one of Australia’s major lotteries, offering frequent large jackpot prizes. Powerball followed a couple of years later, and recently broke the Australian record for the largest ever jackpot prize on offer – $150 million.
The nationally televised weekly Oz Lotto draw happens every Tuesday night at 8.30pm AEST (or 9.30pm AEDT during daylight saving months).
Each week’s Powerball draw takes place on a Thursday night, at 8.30pm AEST (or 9.30pm AEDT during daylight saving months).
Yes, both Oz Lotto and Powerball are drawn live on 7TWO every Tuesday and Thursday respectively at 8.30pm.
No matter which outlet you buy your weekly ticket for each lottery from, all ticket sales stop an hour before the draw takes place – so you’ll need to purchase before 7.30pm AEST each Tuesday for Oz Lotto, and each Thursday for Powerball.
To win the top prize in each lottery the conditions are different. In Oz Lotto you must match all seven main numbers drawn. In Powerball, on the other hand, you need to match all seven main numbers and the Powerball number.
While Powerball still holds the record for the largest ever lottery jackpot in Australia, it is also harder to win because of the need to match the Powerball as well as the seven regular balls. Oz Lotto still has regular large jackpots but as it’s easier to win, they tend to be more rare.
All lotteries in Australia have to disclose the odds of winning prizes, so the chances of winning either lottery are well known. With Powerball, the odds of grabbing the jackpot are 1 in 134.5 million – one of the reasons for that lottery’s frequent huge jackpot prize amounts. In Oz Lotto, the odds are 1 in 45 million. However, the chances of winning any prize in Powerball are greater, at 1 in 44 compared to 1 in 55 for Oz Lotto.
Yes – Australian law requires anyone buying a lottery ticket be 18 years of age of older.
If you’re an Australian citizen, the good news is that prize winnings from lotteries are not subject to any form of tax – the full prize amount is yours to enjoy. If you’re playing from overseas, though, your winnings may be taxed by your home country.
A single-game Oz Lotto ticket costs less than $2, though a more popular entry is the multi-game QuickPick which starts at $11.90 for 9 entries. A standard Powerball ticket is a little more expensive, starting with a 4-game ticket for $5.40, with a PowerHit entry costing $27 for one game.
Hugely popular for years, QuickPick tickets give you multiple entries in a week’s draw using different randomly selected numbers in each. The odds of winning are exactly the same, and since they reduce the time needed to buy a ticket to almost zero, they’re a great time-saver.
Yes! Both Oz Lotto and Powerball be played via The Lott app, available for both iOS and Android. It allows instant digital purchase of tickets as well as scanning and checking paper ones, and lets you check all the results as soon as they happen.
For Oz Lotto, the jackpot for winning Division 1 (the top prize) starts at $3 million and grows each week until it is won. For Powerball, the starting jackpot is $4 million and regularly grows to huge amounts.
Yes, you can start a subscription so that your weekly entries to either lottery are automatic, and you’re notified immediately about any winnings. You can start a subscription most easily from The Lott app for smartphones and tablets.
