Powerball nights almost feel like derby days. When the clock strikes 9, the balls start to roll and all the punters begin to hold their breaths in anticipation. YesPlay makes that weekly ritual feel like a proper betting market, and instead of standing in line for a paper ticket, you get to bet using your phone as you watch how the certified draw is developing. This gives you the same level of suspense, except the cash comes right from the bookmaker’s pocket.
Bet Types
On YesPlay you can do almost anything from single-number bets to combinations of multiple numbers. Take a look at the SA Powerball results page to get an idea of what to expect. And if you love math, there are even bets for you, like betting on whether the number will be even or odd.
Cash Maths
With multipliers bigger than anything you’ve ever seen before, nail one ball and a ten-rand stake quickly turns into R95. Score two and that same tenner turns into R1 010. Score three and it will be multiplied to R13 510. And if you get four, the multiplier jumps to a whopping R250 010. Oh, and folding a bonus into the mix turns the math into a complicated mess, with certain three-plus-bonus combos paying exactly like four numbers because the bookie thinks their chances are the same.
Local Flavour
We South Africans never say no to the opportunity to win twice. For those who want to stick to the original six-from-52 grid, you’ll be glad to know that YesPlay offers a platform where you can essentially bet on your lucky numbers at https://yesplay.bet/lucky-numbers/rsa_lotto_plus_1. By using Lotto Plus 1, you get another draw for the price of one. And the odds are slightly better than with the main Lotto, which makes this option worthwhile, especially if you decide to try a weekend accumulator.

YesPlay puts the Powerball saga in your pocket, making it easier than ever to participate in those lotteries and get swifter payouts. Whether you only want to bet on one number or plot a combo that might just give you a huge payday, the bookmaker has everything you need. Keep your stakes sensible and track the draws, who knows, your next celebratory braai might be funded by some lucky numbers!
