The South Africa PowerBall is modelled after the US Powerball but offers a smaller guess range. Number selection in the South African Powerball is 5/50 + PB 1/20 while the number selection of the US Powerball is 5/69 + PB 1/26. Because of its bigger guess range, US Powerball jackpots tend to be much larger, however the odds of winning the SA PowerBall jackpot are better than the odds of winning the US Powerball jackpot!
