Record-breaking $110m Powerball: The luckiest numbers revealed
A record-breaking Powerball jackpot could see one person become $110 million richer overnight.
The jackpot is the biggest prize ever offered by an Australian lottery game.
No players held a division one winning entry in last week’s Powerball draw, forcing the game to jackpot for the eighth consecutive week.
The most successful Powerball numbers
In the lead-up to the close of entries, the most frequently drawn numbers have been revealed.
Those most often drawn from the main Powerball barrel, where seven winning numbers are drawn from 1 to 35, were the numbers 17 and 2 in the past 15 months.
Most frequently drawn from the Powerball barrel, where a single Powerball number is drawn from 1 to 20, were 3 and 19, while the least popular number was 1, having not been drawn at all in more than a year.
The winningest Powerball suburbs
Areas that delivered the most winners in each have also been revealed to include Warner, north of Brisbane; Gladstone in Central Queensland; Griffith in the NSW Riverina Region and and Seven Hills in Sydney’s northwest.
In Victoria, St Albans in northwest of Melbourne and Werribee in Melbourne’s southwest have had the most winners.
In South Australia, the most winners came from Woodcroft in Adelaide.
The appropriately-named Success, in Perth, was the most successful area in Western Australia.
During the 12 months, NSW and Victoria were each home to three Powerball division one winners, while Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia each welcomed one winner.
Past Powerball winners
In the 12 months to June 30, 10 Powerball division one winners across Australia pocketed $398,575,649 in prize money.
A Sydney woman scored a Powerball payday of more than $107 million, setting a new record for Australia’s biggest ever individual lottery prize.
Of the 10 division one winning entries in the past 12 months, two-thirds were QuickPick entries, where the numbers were randomly generated by the lottery terminal.
QuickPicks will cost you $7.20 for six games. It’s the same if you choose your own numbers.
The remaining entries were marked ones, where ticket-holders chose numbers themselves.
In recent winning entries, a 25-game and 50-game entry each snared division one twice, while the smallest winning entry was a 7-game entry.
What time is Powerball drawn?
Powerball is drawn at 8.30pm AEST.
