One time I felt so good about finally getting a Lucky Numbers bet right, and I was already thinking about what I would spend the payout on when I spotted the fine print saying: “bonus ball excluded”. So learn from my mistakes and don’t get too cocky before reading everything first!
That’s why you should treat the Powerball Plus on YesPlay like a fun puzzle, instead of just picking numbers based on feelings. The website clearly shows all possible results as well as all the prices, which gives you an idea of the risk.
The number pools
YesPlay shows RSA Powerball Plus as a 5/50 draw with its own bonus ball. There are two kinds of bets, bets that only look at the main five balls and those that count bonus ball as well. It’s very important to pay attention to which one you choose, so you don’t get mad when that bonus ball doesn’t pay out.
The best part is that you can bet in small amounts. YesPlay will show you a list of options you can bet on, like matching some of the main numbers or even picking if the numbers are going to be even or odd.
Prices jump fast
Now here is something that might surprise you. The difference between getting a little something and winning a jackpot is HUGE. On YesPlay Powerball Plus page, matching just one main ball gets you payout priced at 9.50, but getting two main balls already bumps that number all the way up to 101.00.
If you want to be extra careful with your bets, try to keep things simple. A 9.50 price basically means around a 1-in-10 chance. A 101.00 price means “don’t bet too much on this one”. Read more on YesPlay, to see what the current prices are.
That tiny line
YesPlay also put some restrictions on your bets, for example, the site won’t allow you to place a bet containing three regular balls in combination with another number type. So if you decide to include the bonus ball, check if the market allows it.
If you want to do it the right way, pick one type of bet: either you’re betting often with smaller wins or going for the huge prize while betting less often. Always bet the amount that won’t stress you out if you lose.
