$5,000 Welcome Bonus
One or more Aussies could wake up this Friday the 13 as a newly-minted millionaire if they take home a slice of Thursday night’s $60 million Powerball prize.
With no Powerball division one winners during the past four draws, the game’s jackpot has soared to $60 million – the third biggest Australian lottery jackpot offered so far this year.
Up to one-in-six Australian adults are expected to have an entry into this Thursday’s draw, which is also the biggest offer of any Australian lottery at this time.
If one player walked away with it all this week, The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said they would share the title of being Australia’s second-biggest individual lottery winner so far in 2022.
“As we’ve welcomed a number of Powerball division one winners during recent months, we haven’t seen the jackpot climb too high… until now,” he said.
“This Thursday’s draw is the third time this year Powerball has offered a $60 million prize. In fact, half of the six Powerball division one winning entries in 2022 to date have taken home $60 million prizes. Could we see another $60 million win this week?”
Mr Hart shared some Powerball winning trends had already emerged in 2022.
“There have been six Powerball division one winning entries so far in 2022 that have collected more than $226.6 million. Three of these wins have been in New South Wales, with one each in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia,” he said.
“Two-thirds of 2022’s Powerball division one winning entries to date were QuickPick entries, where the lottery terminal determines the numbers for you.
“Syndicates have also had a strong year, with a third of Powerball division one wins being syndicates or groups of people who shared the multi-million-dollar prizes.
“PowerHit entries have continued their winning form, accounting for a third of Powerball division one wins so far this year. PowerHit entries are unique to Powerball and guarantee the all-important Powerball number needed to win division one.
“But remember, regardless of which Powerball entry you grab, as long as you have one in your hand before 7.30pm AEST on Thursday night, you’re in with a chance to become an overnight multi-millionaire.
“I’d recommend registering your entry to a player card or online account. That way, we can reach out to you straight after the draw should you win division one. Imagine starting Friday the 13 as Australia’s newest multi-millionaire? It would be a date you’d never forget!”
