On Thursdays Powerball could change it all. Powerball is the jackpotting game which guarantees a First Division prize pool of a minimum $3 Million and can jackpot to as high as $35 Million or more!
To play Powerball you can use the specific Powerball
coupon and you have 4 options:
- Simply cross (x) off 5 from 45 numbers in the first panel of your coupon, then cross (x) off just one number - the 'Powerball' number - in the second panel with the shaded 'P'
- Play 'your
favourite numbers' as recorded on your Golden Casket Winners Circle card.
- Play a 'Quickpick'
entry, where your numbers are randomly selected by the Lotto
terminal. You have a choice between a Quickpick (12 games),
a Super Quickpick (18 games), or a Mega Quickpick (24 games).
- With a 'System' entry you select 7 or more numbers (up to 20), or six or more for a PowerHit system entry, in a single game panel then cross the 'System' box.

You can play a minimum of 2 games of Powerball for only $1.30
(includes Agent handling fee). You can play any even number of game panels (up to 12) on the one coupon. The more games you play, the more chances you have of winning a prize. Refer to our price list for further information
Golden Casket recommends that you always check your receipts.
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.
The Powerball prize divisions are as follows:
| Division |
What you need in one game to
win |
| 1* |
All 5 winning numbers
from the first draw machine plus 1 Powerball winning number. |
| 2 |
All 5 winning numbers
from the first draw machine. |
| 3 |
Any 4 winning numbers
from the first draw machine plus the 1 Powerball winning
number. |
| 4 |
Any 3 winning numbers
from the first draw machine plus the 1 Powerball winning
number. |
| 5 |
Any 4 winning numbers
from the first draw machine. |
| 6 |
Any 2 winning numbers
from the first draw machine plus the 1 Powerball winning
number. |
| 7 |
Any 3 winning numbers
from the first draw machine. |
*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.
Quickpicks are a quick and easy way to
play Powerball. Your numbers are randomly selected by the Agent's Lotto terminal. A standard Quickpick gives you 12 games. If you want to play 18 games, ask for a Super Quickpick. And for 24 games, simply ask for a Mega Quickpick.
PowerHit is a new 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 Agent for a 'PowerHit' and you will receive a randomly selected one game PowerHit entry.
How much does it cost?
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 Agent for a Powerpick to be played with your other
Gold Lotto games.
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.
Syndicates
are formed by groups of people who pool funds to purchase entries. For further details on forming or
joining a syndicate, ask for a Syndicate Kit at your nearest
Golden Casket Agent or visit the Syndicate page in this site for Syndicate resources, including a handy Online Syndicate Planner to make organising a Syndicate easy.
System Entries give you the chance to win more. With a System Entry for Powerball you only choose extra numbers in the first game panel.For example, if you play a Powerball System 10 game and match 4 numbers and not the Powerball, you win 6 times
the Division 5 dividend plus 60 times the Division 7
dividend.
So to play a System 10 in Powerball, you choose 10 numbers in the first panel, and only 1 number, the 'Powerball', or the PowerHit option from the second panel. PowerHit Systems Entries are available from Systems 6 to 15.
For Powerball, you can play anything from
one system game panel on a coupon, up to the following.
| System type |
Maximum games per coupon |
| System 7 to System
13 |
12 |
| System 14 to System
20 |
4 |
The Multiweek option is extremely
useful when going on holidays or if you don't visit your Golden
Casket Agent very often. You can play the same set of numbers
in either 5 or 10 consecutive weeks of the draws. Multiweek
Entries are not available for Systems 16 to 20.
Simply cross the relevant 5 or 10 week
box in the Multiweek section on your Powerball coupon, or
ask your Golden Casket Agent when entering with a Quickpick
or playing with your favourite recorded numbers.
If there is a Powerball draw
you don't want to miss you might like to ask for an Advance Entry. You can
nominate which future draw you wish to enter up to 10 weeks
in advance.
It's easy to play Powerball using your favourite numbers. Simply mark a coupon
with your chosen numbers, hand this coupon to your Golden
Casket Agent along with your Golden Casket Winners Circle card and ask them to record these numbers onto your
card. Next time you want to play, just hand the Agent your
card and ask to play your recorded games.
Super 66 is a game that gives you
another chance to win for only $1.10 per game(includes Agent handling fee). Unless you are using recorded numbers, a 6 digit number will be randomly generated by your Agent's on-line terminal and printed onto your receipt.
It's easy to play Super 66. Simply cross
the Super 66 'Single' entry box on your Powerball coupon or, for more than one entry, cross the 'Multiple' box and tell
your Golden Casket Agent how many Super 66 entries you want.
You can ask for up to 12 Super 66 games when you cross the multiple box on your coupon.
Otherwise you can play Super 66 on a Quickpick
entry. Just tell your Golden Casket Agent how many Super 66
entries you want to play. The Lotto terminal will print your
random Super 66 entry or entry(ies) onto your receipt.
The Super 66 weekly draw takes place every
Saturday night prior to the Gold Lotto draw.
Super 66 draws close Saturday 7 pm (or Saturday 6 pm during Daylight Savings)
