Powerball Jackpot Soars to $150 Million After Latest Draw

Following the latest Powerball draw, where the $100 million top prize remained unclaimed, the jackpot is set to skyrocket to an impressive $150 million.

In draw 1444, the winning numbers were 21, 31, 17, 22, 20, 24, and 34, with the Powerball number being 6. While the division one prize of $100 million went untouched, 15 fortunate tickets secured $132,000 each in the second division.

The upcoming $150 million draw is anticipated to be the second-largest jackpot in Australia, following the record-breaking $160 million draw in October 2022. Anna Hobdell, a spokesperson from the Lott, expects heightened excitement and engagement as Australians gear up for the significant draw.

She mentioned, "We expect a surge in lottery outlets and online as we approach Thursday night's multimillion-dollar draw, with up to half of Australian adults expected to have an entry into the draw." The excitement surrounding the draw is palpable, with significant interest reflected in the surge of entries during the previous $100 million Powerball draw.
