System Entries

A System entry allows you to enter up to 20 of your selected numbers, and every possible combination of those numbers, into Powerball. 

Playing a System entry multiplies the number of games you are playing, so a winning System entry pays multiple prizes

System entries are defined by the amount of numbers you wish to play. For example, select 7 numbers to play a System 7 entry, select 8 numbers to play a System 8, and so on.

Systems 3 to 4

Play a System 3 or 4 by:

• Selecting either 3 or 4 numbers in the top game panel of a Powerball coupon and one number in the lower 'Powerball' panel and marking the 'System' box; or
• Asking your SA Lotteries agent for a Powerball System 3 or 4 Easi-Pick and letting the terminal generate the 3 or 4 numbers, and the Powerball number, for you.

Your selection of numbers is then combined with all remaining numbers in Powerball (1 to 45) to create every possible five-number combination containing your selected numbers. For example:

Systems 6 to 20

Play a System 6 to 20 entry by:

• Selecting between 6 and 20 numbers in a game panel, and one number in the lower 'Powerball' panel, of a Powerball coupon and marking the 'System' box; or
• Asking your SA Lotteries agent to generate a Powerball Easi-Pick for the System entry of your choice (from 6 to 20) and letting the terminal generate the 6 to 20 numbers, and the Powerball number, for you.

Your numbers are then combined to create every possible unique five-number combination (plus your Powerball selection) using your selected numbers. For example:

System entries win multiple prizes. Refer to the Powerball Systems Prize Table or Power45 Systems Prize Table to determine how many prizes you can win playing Systems.
