  Latest news: Powerball is changing

  

  From 8.00am on Friday, 1 March 2013, exciting changes will be introduced to Powerball to offer players more prizes, big jackpots, more often.

  The first Powerball draw subject to the game changes will occur on Thursday, 7 March 2013 (draw #877).

   

   

  A new Powerball game structure.

  Six numbers will be drawn from a barrel of 40 numbers and one Powerball number will be drawn from a barrel of 20 numbers.

   

   

  New prize divisions and the introduction of Division Eight.

  Due to the new game structure, the combination of numbers needed to win in each Powerball prize division will be modified and an eighth prize division will be introduced to deliver more prizes to players each week.  The prize pool distribution will also be adjusted. 

  

  The introduction of an eighth Powerball prize division gives you more opportunities to win a prize. 

   

  New chances of winning.

  The chance of winning a Division One prize in Powerball will change from 1 in 54,979,155 to 1 in 76,767,600, however the chance of winning any prize in Powerball will improve from 1 in 119 to 1 in 78.

  I wish you the best with the changes. 

  Although you may have bad luck, I guess it might be considered good luck to have a penal colony with a lottery.
