Powerball Lotto Australia
Overview |
 Powerball Lotto Australia is a two-part lottery draw that offers
huge jackpots, and is responsible for the largest payouts in Australian
lotto history. It is a national lottery, operated by various operators
in the different Australian territories.
The Powerball Lotto Australia gives players all over Australia and
across the world the chance to win big every Thursday night (Australian
time). Because of the dual draw format, the jackpot normally goes to
only one lucky winner at a time, thus pretty much guaranteeing
millionaire status to anyone who wins.
Powerball Lotto Australia consists of a first draw, where 5
numbers are drawn from a number pool of 45, and then the Powerball is
drawn from a different pool, also of 45 numbers. To win the Division 1
jackpot, you need to have all 5 numbers, plus the Powerball number.
Prizes are paid out in 7 prize divisions, starting with 3 winning
numbers (minus the Powerball), or 2 winning numbers plus the Powerball.
You can buy Powerball tickets up to 9 weeks in advance of any draw,
by simply nominating the date of the draw that you wish to enter. You
can also buy tickets as part of a syndicate. You also have a Powerpik
option, where you can buy 5 random normal numbers, plus all 45 Powerball
numbers, which means that you are guaranteed to have picked the
Powerball number, whatever is drawn. |
