Tonight’s Powerball draw has seen an incredible jackpot surge to $100 million after four consecutive draws without a division one winner. This impressive amount marks the third-highest prize awarded in any Australian lottery throughout 2024. The odds of winning this jaw-dropping jackpot, which requires players to match seven numbers plus the Powerball, sit at a daunting 1 in 134 million. Millions of Australians are gearing up to participate in this Thursday’s draw. Earlier this year, a record-setting $200 million jackpot was claimed in February, and a South Australian player made history by winning the largest individual lottery prize in Australia, taking home a whopping $150 million. In a memorable moment from August, a Brisbane woman won the $100 million Powerball jackpot during draw 1475 and expressed her plans for her newfound wealth, stating, ‘Maybe a family holiday somewhere. We’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand and Fiji.’
