The biggest jackpot of the year is tonight, with Powerball climbing to a spectacular $100 million.
So far in 2023, there have been eight Division One Powerball winners across the country that have collectively taken home more than $154 million in prize money.
Western Australia’s latest Powerball win was a Swan Valley family who took home a $40 million prize in March after purchasing a Slikpik 18 from Springs News in Bennett Springs.
“We’re a tight family and will share the win together, making sure our kids and grandkids are looked after,” the ticket holder said.
WA has also seen seven Powerball Division Two winners share in close to half a million dollars in prizes so far in 2023.
“There’s still time to organise your group syndicate or join one in-store,” Lotterywest spokesperson Emma Rogers said.
“It’s more fun to play as a team, and by pooling your money together you can play more games and increase your chances of winning,” she said.
Lotterywest is uniquely the only state government owned lottery in the country, and thanks to WA players and retailers, millions of dollars from ticket sales go back to the WA community in grants.
Powerball ticket sales alone have contributed more than $105 million back to the WA community this financial year.
Powerball tickets are available until 6pm tonight, in-store, online and via the Lotterywest App.
