The Powerball jackpot is set to reach an impressive $100 million for tonight’s draw! After no division one winners in the last four draws, the stakes have risen significantly for Powerball draw 1489, making this the third-highest prize in any Australian lottery game for 2024. The odds of snagging this massive jackpot, which requires matching seven numbers plus the Powerball, stand at about 1 in 134 million. Millions of Australians are expected to participate in this Thursday’s draw. Earlier this year, a record-setting $200 million jackpot was claimed in February, while a player from South Australia walked away with the largest individual win in Australian lottery history, totaling $150 million. In a previous draw in August, a woman from Brisbane won the $100 million Powerball jackpot in draw 1475. When she was asked about her plans for the newfound wealth, she expressed her desire for a family holiday, mentioning a trip to New Zealand and Fiji as a long-held dream.
