Imagine buying your weekly lottery ticket. You’re waiting for the results, but what if your numbers could win twice on the same night? That’s right, since 2015, PowerBall Plus has been quietly giving South Africans a second chance to win with the same numbers they used for their first lottery ticket. Now you have two shots at a life-changing jackpot.
Double the Draw, Double the Dream
For just an extra R2.50, you can add PowerBall Plus to your ticket. This gives you an extra draw right after the main PowerBall draw. It’s like a second chance to win using the same numbers. The game is still easy: pick five numbers from 1 to 50, and a PowerBall from 1 to 20. The jackpot starts at R2 million, similar to how R153 million was won after nearly 60 rollovers in 2020. Did we also mention that what happens in the first draw won’t affect the second draw in any way, so it’s kind of a two for one.
Some people think PowerBall Plus is just a little extra bet on the side, but it’s really its own separate draw with different prizes and different chances of winning. One time in 2015, players from KwaZulu-Natal hit a 23 million rand Plus jackpot with the exact numbers that did nothing in the first draw, proving this to be a pretty awesome ‘second chance’.
Twice the Tickets, One Set of Numbers
Here’s how it works:
- Tick the PowerBall Plus box when you’re buying your main PowerBall ticket online or in a store.
- This will automatically add you to the Plus draw as well for only R7.50 per board.
- Check results after 9 PM, the main draw is first, followed by the Plus draw.
If you’re a PowerBall regular, playing both is great way to double your chances. Imagine how much you could win after 40 draws after two months. Those familiar with YesPlay’s results page already know that numbers there look pretty random but this is what keeps the game unpredictable and exciting.
When Numbers Need a Break
Even if you love lottery, sometimes you need a little break from it. If you’re tired of staring at those numbers and picking tickets, YesPlay’s sports section is just what you were looking for. They have a vast selection of games that range from soccer to rugby to cricket, giving you the perfect opportunity to place bets.

Why Players Trust the Plus
PowerBall Plus is simple. You don’t have to do anything extra other than buy a second ticket for a draw that comes right after the first one. YesPlay posts the results immediately, so you’ll know if you’ve won anything after just a couple of minutes. Playing PowerBall Plus only costs R2.50 extra and might potentially grow your earnings.
