Every Thursday night, the Powerball draw takes place at approximately 8:45pm on Channel Seven and affiliated regional stations in Queensland. The draw features 2 machines which both contain 45 numbered balls numbered 1 to 45. The first machine will draw 5 numbers. The second will draw only one number, the 'Powerball'. Therefore, it is possible that the Powerball number drawn could be identical to a number drawn in the first draw machine. How do I know if I have won? The Powerball prize divisions are as follows: Division What you need in one game to win 1* 5 winning numbers plus the Powerball 2 5 winning numbers 3 4 winning numbers plus the Powerball 4 3 winning numbers plus the Powerball 5 4 winning numbers 6 2 winning numbers plus the Powerball 7 3 winning numbers *All first division dividends are provisional for 2 weeks following a draw. A standard entry in Powerball cannot win a prize in more than one division. Ways to play Quickpick, Super Quickpick, Mega Quickpick and JUMBO Quickpick Quickpicks are a quick and easy way to play Powerball. Your numbers are randomly selected by the Golden Casket Outlet's Lotto terminal. A standard Quickpick gives you 12 games. If you want to play 18 games, ask for a Super Quickpick. For 24 games, ask for a Mega Quickpick and for 36 games simply ask for a JUMBO Quickpick. PowerHit PowerHit is a type of Powerball entry which guarantees you the Powerball, because you get all 45 Powerball numbers in the one game. A one game PowerHit entry is equivalent to 45 standard Powerball games, which means 45 chances to win. There are 2 ways to play a PowerHit. 1. Mark a coupon, simply cross 5 numbers in the left game panel and then cross the 'PowerHit' box. There is no need to mark a Powerball number in the right game panel. You can play from 1 to 12 games on the one coupon. 2. Or ask your Golden Casket retailer for a 'PowerHit' and you will receive a randomly selected one game PowerHit entry. How much does it cost? Powerpick You can use your favourite numbers from Gold Lotto (Saturday & Wednesday) to play Powerball with a Powerpick. A Powerpick simply uses your Lotto numbers and randomly chooses one of them for your Powerball number. The other 5 numbers are played in the first panel of your Powerball game. You can either mark a special Powerpick box on your normal Gold Lotto coupon or simply ask your Golden Casket retailer for a Powerpick to be played with your other Gold Lotto games. Mark a Powerball coupon To play Powerball, you simply cross off 5 from 45 numbers in the first panel. Then mark off just one number, the 'Powerball', in the second panel. It's that easy.
