How PowerBall Plus Differs from the Main Draw
It’s important to remember that PowerBall Plus is a completely separate game from the main PowerBall draw, even though it takes place on the same night. The jackpots are funded independently, meaning the Plus draw can often roll over and grow massive even if the main jackpot is won.
Many SA players opt-in for the Plus draw because the odds of hitting lower-tier prizes remain the same, essentially giving you double the chances of a return on your ticket investment.
