Moreover, the numbers drawn for Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 and 2 on Wednesday 11 March 2026 apply to all three entries. Therefore, there is a 1 in 40 475 358 chance of winning. Meanwhile, PowerBall players pick five numbers from 1 to 50. And one PowerBall number from 1 to 20 that acts as a multiplier. However, because of this larger variance in numbers (58 versus 70) your chance of winning is lower at 1 in 42 375 200. 

Better still, the average jackpots also differ: R22 million for PowerBall versus R5.95 million for Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 and 2. Therefore, anyone who wins either lottery this week, will beat both jackpot averages by a very large margin indeed.
