The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an impressive $100 million for tonight’s draw. After four consecutive draws without a division one winner, the prize pool for Powerball draw 1489 has reached this staggering amount, making it the third-largest jackpot in any Australian lottery for the year 2024. The chances of winning this monumental jackpot, which requires players to match seven numbers plus the Powerball, stand at about 1 in 134 million. Millions of Australians are gearing up to participate in Thursday’s draw. Earlier this year, a record-breaking jackpot of $200 million was won in February, while a player from South Australia claimed the highest individual win in Australian lottery history, bringing home $150 million. In August, a lucky woman from Brisbane won the $100 million jackpot in draw 1475. When asked about her plans for the windfall, she expressed a desire for a family holiday, mentioning New Zealand and Fiji as dream destinations.
