LotteryWest Powerball jackpots to crazy $100 million for tonight's draw

In a thrilling development for WA lottery enthusiasts, Powerball’s jackpot has climbed to an impressive $100 million for the first time since August.

This substantial prize presents a significant opportunity for players looking to change their fortunes.

As anticipation builds for the draw, players are advised to plan ahead to avoid congestion and to ensure their tickets are registered with a Lotterywest membership for added security.

This eye-catching jackpot follows a four-week run without any Division One winners, during which more than $12.9 million has been raised for the Lotterywest grants program, positively impacting communities throughout the state.

Lotterywest CEO Colin Smith highlighted the historical significance of tonight’s draw, noting that Powerball holds the record for WA’s largest win, which occurred in 2021 when a group of 55 women celebrated an $80m share.

“Tonight’s Powerball draw could make West Australian Lotto history,” Smith said.

The demand for tickets is expected to surge, with estimates suggesting that up to half of Australia’s adults will participate in the draw.

The most active period for ticket sales is projected to occur on Thursday afternoon between 4pm and 5pm, with approximately 900 tickets sold every minute.

As the clock ticks down to the draw, the excitement continues to grow across the state, with many hopefuls dreaming of winning big.
