Just two questions.
To win division 1 in Powerball:
We are starting a work syndicate for $10 each just for fun.
Yep, you are correct OP. I think you can also do a Powerhit + system entry, but probably pretty expensive.
For a PowerHit entry you need to match only 7 numbers as the Powerball is guaranteed?
Yes, that's right.
For a System entry, for example if I chose a System 9 do I need to match only 7 out of 9 + Powerball?
Yes, that's also right. Basically a system allows you to pick more numbers.
You know what's strange though, why would anyone buy from Oz Lotteries when you can buy from the Lott?
For example a standard 50 game Powerball ticket is $67.5 from Oz Lotteries while only $60 from the Lott.
powerball tickets are a waste, you have better chances of winning regular lotto.
i work in the industy
but surely theres a better chance if you are given the powerball (i.e. PowerHit entry)
You have better odds of being struck by lightning or getting hit by a car while crossing the street.
Yes, see https://thelott.com/powerball/how-to-win
But you're also potentially up against this guy: https://www.smh.com.au/national/meet-the-joker-the-australia…
The only way to guarantee a win is not to play the game. This also drains Zeljko of his money too.
Feels like the extra number (from 6 to 7) killed the odds. Got 6 out of 7 (no powerball), thought I won a house deposit only to realise I got Div 4 :(
I've said this before - trying to get rich by playing lotto is like to trying to commit suicide by flying commercial airlines.
There were over 500 plane deaths last year. I guess you have to be in it to win it.
In short, Yes. To both of your questions.
However, unless your System 9 includes a Powerhit, the odds are incredibly stacked against you.
Long time gambler here…
p.s - the Lott's website has a table of all it's games and their associated odds, have a look, intriguing, trust me. You may change your choice of game after…

Regardless of the ticket type, you need to have all numbers to win the jackpot.
