The principle of the game is as follows: there are two lottery drums in the studio, one of them drops 5 balls with main numbers, and the other throws one ball, which is called "Powerball". The main task of the participants in the drawing is to guess 5 main numbers, choosing in the range from 1 to 50. The second task is to choose one more additional number from 1 to 20. As with most number lotteries online, selection of numbers can be done manually or by using a computer random number algorithm. It is enough to guess the number of one Powerball and the participant receives a guaranteed win. But, to pick up the jackpot, you need to choose the right one 5 main numbers and one additional - "Powerball". If, as a result of the drawing, the jackpot has not been drawn, then it is automatically increased and carried over to the next game.

Tickets are purchased on the official lottery website (results are published on the same site, names of winners and cash prizes, number of tickets won and the next jackpot), and the sale ends three hours before the start of the draw.
In case of victory, the lottery participant is informed by e-mail or by phone call. At the same time, the method is specified, time and place of issuing funds.

Group one - mathematical-probabilistic strategies.
Since the lottery is based on random drawing of certain numbers from a predetermined combination of numbers, the game is perfectly described by the laws of probability theory. However, let's make a reservation right away, in the theory of probability, there are no one hundred percent guarantees. You can increase your chances of success and only. And to do it, there are a number of lottery strategies.
1. Composing Combination Based on US Powerball Lottery Draw Statistics.
The archive of data on its results for past draws will help in choosing numbers for the next US Powerball lottery draw. Lotto results in recent years can provide information on the statistics of the appearance of certain numbers in a winning combination..
Of interest are the most frequently drawn lotto numbers, most rarely drawn numbers and most expected numbers (those numbers, who have not appeared in the ranks of the winning). From the point of view of mathematical laws, it is these groups of numbers that are most likely to be among the winning ones in the very next draw.. It is on them that you should bet, if you are ready to follow the path of probabilistic strategy.
Winning statistics US Powerball lottery numbers not difficult to find. There are several sites on the Internet at once, who publish this information in the public domain. It is enough just to puzzle the search engine with this question.
Topics, who wants to use this strategy, you should remember the following - lists of numbers in a particular group (most frequently dropped, most anticipated and so on) change after each print run. Therefore, the set of your numbers must be constantly changed based on fresh data.. Finally, like any probabilistic method, even if built on mathematical logic, does not give a guaranteed result.
2. Increasing the number of bets in the draw.
According to the laws of probability theory, every new lotto bet increases your chances of winning lotto
Based on this data, take into account, that buying multiple lotto tickets for one Circulation Powerball will be a more effective strategy, than buying one ticket in several editions. Therefore, if you do not have the opportunity to make several bets at once every week, it makes sense to save up and wait for a really attractive jackpot
Also, the problem of the cost of a large number of tickets can be solved with the help of group participation in the lotto - the so-called lottery syndicate..
The formation of a lottery syndicate implies joint participation in the lotto by a group. In case of a win, the cash prizes are divided equally among all syndicate members or in proportion to the financial contribution of each. It is recommended that the rules of the lottery syndicate and the list of its participants be documented by signatures and legally established.
3. Matrix way to buy Powerball lotto tickets.
This strategy combines the advantages of buying a large number of tickets per draw, taking into account statistics on past winning combinations of US Powerball lottery numbers.
In this case, you need to decide on a pair or three lotto numbers, which are most likely to be won in the next draw, and then buy lotto tickets in such quantity, which would cover all possible winning combinations with these numbers.
The likelihood of winning Powerball with this strategy is really significant, however, the implementation of the method requires serious financial costs. Lottery syndication can also be an acceptable solution to the financial problem..
4. US Powerball Extra Ball Method.
The structure of the prize categories of the American lottery US Powerball assumes the receipt of a lotto win for a single match of an additional draw number. Which means, that for a guaranteed win in at least the last prize category it is enough to buy 26 US Powerball lottery tickets with all options for additional lotto numbers from 1 to 26. One of them will surely match the additional ball of the winning combination of the drawing, guaranteeing victory to its owner.
This method gives 100% Powerball lotto win guarantee, however, it is very unlikely to justify the cost of implementing this strategy (cost 26 US Powerball tickets is not comparable to one cash prize of the last 9th category).
Australia Powerball Prize Structure and Prize Categories.
Australia Powerball was inspired by the popular American original, the US Powerball. However, the Australian version has its own prize structure., different from the structure of its prototype.
First of all, the organizers of the Australian Powerball variant have abandoned the fixed value of prizes in all categories except for the jackpot. The amount of cash prizes depends on the size of the total prize pool and increases in proportion to the accumulation cycle.
Also, unlike the American version of the Powerball lotto, Australian lottery participants do not win a prize if only one additional number matches. To claim lotto win Australia Powerball lotto, you need to guess at least 3 numbers from the winning combination of the lottery draw.
The total format of the Australia Powerball lottery provides 8 prize categories. Prizes are awarded and generated as follows:
| Category | Matches | Percentage of the total prize pool | Probability of winning |
| 1 | 6 major + additional number | 40% | 1 of 76.767.600 |
| 2 | 6 main numbers | 3.35% | 1 of 4.040.400 |
| 3 | 5 major + additional number | 3.4% | 1 of 376.312 |
| 4 | 5 main numbers | 1.9% | 1 of 19.806 |
| 5 | 4 major + additional number | 1.45% | 1 of 9.123 |
| 6 | 3 major + additional number | 12.65% | 1 of 641 |
| 7 | 4 main numbers | 11.35% | 1 of 480 |
| 8 | 2 major + additional number | 26% | 1 of 110 |
Australia Powerball rules do not limit the number of accumulations of the main prize or the jackpot limit. Australia Powerball 1st category starting prize is AUD $ 3 million Australian dollars. The highest jackpot in Australian Powerball history so far is AUD $ 80 million Australian dollars, this mark was reached in just 8 accumulations.
