How can I bet on Thursday's $477M US Powerball?

Next draw: $477M on Thursday, 14 Dec 2023 UTC

Alongside Mega Millions, the US Powerball shares top spot for the biggest American lottery draw and is famous around the world for the size that the jackpot can reach. The minimum jackpot payout currently starts at US$20m, but when this begins to rollover, the prizes can escalate quickly and at its peak in 2016 three winning tickets shared the biggest prize in history of US$1.6bn! With jaw dropping sums like that on offer, it’s no surprise that people around the world are desperate to get involved in the fun.

At Lottomart Games we offer international players the chance to do exactly that, by betting on the outcome of the official US Powerball draw, without the need to travel to the USA to buy your tickets. With a 1 in 25 chance of scooping a prize and 9 ways to win, you can select your favourite numbers quickly and easily online and then all you need to do is sit back and wait for the results to come in from the Florida studio to see if you’ve won!

How does betting on US Powerall differ from buying a ticket in the draw?

People living around the world don’t have the option to buy a physical ticket in the official draw, which is why betting on the outcome is such a great choice if you’re outside the USA. You can still take your chance of winning the huge jackpots on offer by registering and making your selections simply and easily online at Lottomart Games.

You won’t notice any real difference at all when you’re selecting your numbers or making the quick picks - the structure of the game is identical and if you’re lucky enough to match all 6 numbers and win big, then Lottomart Games will payout.

The majority of wins will be automatically credited to your account quickly after the draw has been settled. Normally that means that cash will be in your account within a few hours of the draw taking place.

How do I boost my chances of winning the US Powerball?

Lottomart is the only place international players can take advantage of a unique feature we’ve developed to help increase the chances of winning a prize on the US Powerball or any of the lotteries we offer.

Boost works by offering you the choice of decreasing the jackpot prize, in return for a proportionate increase in your chances to win it. All of this is free and gives you the option of how to try and hit a big win! Here’s how it works:

Let’s say you’ve heard that the US Powerball main jackpot has hit a staggering US$640m and you want to get involved from outside the USA. The payout is SO big that you’d be happy with just a fraction and would love to have as many chances as possible to win it. Well that’s exactly what boost is for.

For the same price as a single line bet, you can choose to boost your bet by up to 32x and accept a proportionate reduction in the jackpot in return. So in the scenario above, you could choose to have one line bet with a chance of winning US$640m or 32 line bets with a chance of winning US$20m! You could even have it both ways and do both! The choice of how to attack those big prizes is totally up to you.
