Powerball Plus might seem familiar and friendly with the same balls and vibes as the main Powerball, but be careful, because this is where players’ balances usually disappear, not because the game is unfair, but because they see it as a fun and quick punt. YesPlay lets you bet on the results of the official SA Powerball Plus draw and doesn’t let you buy an actual ticket. Your main job is to decide how many numbers you are willing to chase.
How Powerball Plus Works
On the YesPlay Lucky Numbers page for Powerball Plus you can pick from one to four regular numbers, and even add the bonus ball if you’re feeling it today. Remember, the more numbers you pick, the less likely you are to win. Draws happen twice a week and YesPlay will notify you whether you’ve won anything in Rand.
All the information about side bets can be found in the T&Cs, including rules about bonus balls, odd or even, and high or low bets more information you can find here. Just keep in mind, every little extra condition is just going to make the lottery even harder to win, even if it seems like it might be worth it when you look at the payout on your screen.
Common Rookie Mistakes
- The first mistake you can make is placing multiple small bets on every lucky pattern you can think of. Instead of chasing every story you heard, stick to one or two ideas and try to properly test them.
- The second mistake is treating the bonus ball like a shortcut to riches. Yes, you might be able to win more, but adding the bonus ball only adds more risk. If you don’t have a lot of cash to begin with, keep it simple and stick to regular balls.
- Third mistake: don’t bet like crazy. Try to bet the same amount every draw for a month.
Keeping It Sane
Powerball Plus on YesPlay should be viewed as something fun that you do on Tuesday and Friday nights, and definitely not as a last resort to save yourself when things get rough. If you catch yourself being angry and annoyed when you lose, take a break, close the website and come back another day.
