Powerball: One lucky Australian wins division one $100 million jackpot
Half of all Aussie adults were expected to buy a ticket in tonight’s $100m Powerball draw but there is only one lucky Australian taking home the entire prize.
One ticket-holder from NSW has scooped the whopping division one prize, with six other Aussies taking home $282,415.55 in division two.
The winner of the division one prize now shares the title as Australia’s third biggest lottery winner. They join a Queensland woman who took home half of the record-breaking $200 million Powerball draw in February 2024. She is part of an exclusive group of six Australians who know what it’s like to win a Powerball prize of $100 million or more.
