Australia Powerball Draw Days and Times
Australia Powerball draws once a week, on Thursday evening in Australia. Because Sydney is roughly eight to nine hours ahead of South Africa, that draw lands around the middle of the day here — unlike the US draws, there is no overnight wait. Here is the schedule.
The schedule in South African time
| Draw day | South African time |
|---|---|
| Thursday | Around midday to early afternoon (SAST) |
The exact SA time shifts by an hour with Australian daylight saving. Betting closes before the draw, so place your bet earlier in the day and you will have the result the same Thursday afternoon.
