American Powerball or Australian Powerball?
The names match, the games don’t. The American game uses five numbers from 69 and a Powerball from 26, and pays $4 for the Powerball alone. The Australian game uses seven numbers from 35 and a Powerball from 20, and the Powerball alone wins nothing. If you are in Australia, this page is the one you want; for the US game, see the US Powerball generator.
- About one game in 44 wins a prize, usually Division 9 or Division 8.
- No pattern beats chance. Previous results don’t make any number more or less likely on Thursday.
- Sharing is the only thing you can change. Random games split a jackpot less often than birthdays, with the same odds.
