How to Play Powerball in South Africa (Hypothetically)
While Powerball is not officially available in South Africa, let's imagine how it would work: You'd purchase a ticket for a small fee (let's say R30). You would then select five numbers between 1 and 69, and one Powerball number between 1 and 26. Match all six numbers to win the jackpot!
