Powerball jackpot jumps to $100 million after no one claimed top prize
Millions of Australians are expected to purchase tickets in next week's Powerball draw after the jackpot jumped to an eye-watering $100 million.
No one claimed the $60 million division one prize yesterday, which had the winning numbers of 6 18 32 3 1 18 12 and Powerball of 4.
But the good news is that it jackpots to $100 million for next week, becoming the sixth-biggest in Australian lottery history.
Up to half the country's adults are expected to enter next Thursday's draw.
Anyone who claims the top prize will break a long-running drought because there has been no division one winners during the past five Powerball draws.
Next week's jackpot won't be the biggest lottery jackpot of the year.
Winner of $750k jackpot bought a single $1 ticket
That was set In February when two winning tickets, belonging to a New South Wales couple and a Victorian woman, shared the record $200 million Powerball jackpot,
Despite no division one winner last night, $35 million was claimed with two people claiming $142,000 each.
The draw for the $100 million Powerball closes at 7.30pm next Thursday.
