Next week, the excitement will reach a fever pitch as millions of Australians eagerly anticipate the Powerball draw. The jackpot has skyrocketed to a staggering $100 million, causing a frenzy among hopeful participants. Despite the previous draw's winning numbers of 6, 18, 32, 3, 1, 18, 12, and Powerball 4, no one was able to claim the $60 million prize. However, the good news is that the jackpot will continue to grow, making it the sixth-largest in the history of Australian lottery.
It's estimated that up to half of the country's adults will be purchasing tickets for next Thursday's draw. And whoever is lucky enough to win the top prize will be breaking a long-running drought, as there have been no division one winners in the past five Powerball draws. This is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that many are eager to take advantage of.
While next week's jackpot may not be the biggest of the year, it still holds an impressive amount. That title goes to the February draw, where a New South Wales couple and a Victorian woman shared the record-breaking $200 million Powerball jackpot. It's clear that this game has the potential to change someone's life in an instant.
Despite no division one winner in last night's draw, there were still some lucky individuals who claimed a portion of the prize. Two people walked away with $142,000 each, a significant amount that could make a difference in their lives. The anticipation for next week's draw is palpable, as people anxiously wait to see if they will be the ones to take home the grand prize.
