What you need to know as Powerball jackpot soars to $100m

A staggering $100m jackpot will be up for grabs next week after no claims were made for the Powerball division one prize in Thursday night’s draw.

This is the first time the top prize has reached this amount since November 2024, and the 12th time Powerball has offered a $100m jackpot in the game’s 29-year history.

This year alone, eight Powerball division one winners have taken home more than $210.8m – three in Queensland, two each in NSW and Victoria, and one in Western Australia.

Last year, a man from South Australia claimed a whopping $150m, the game’s biggest individual lottery win in Australia.

While there were no division one winners on Thursday night, six lucky Aussies took home $127,979 each in the division two prize pool.

The winning numbers were 1, 30, 12, 34, 24, 9, 6 and the Powerball 10.

Tickets for the upcoming Powerball are available for purchase until 6pm next Thursday in-store, online or via the Lotto mobile app.
