Australia Powerball Jackpot
Australia Powerball is drawn every Thursday at 8:30pm AEST (9:30pm AEDT in summer). The odds of winning the Jackpot are 1 in 134,490,400, about 2.1 times harder than Oz Lotto (1 in 62,891,499).
Will someone win the next Jackpot?
The Jackpot for the draw on Thursday 12 November is A$40M, and we estimate around 46 million games will be sold. That's based on the 15 past draws with the closest Jackpots.
The more games are sold, the more likely the Jackpot is won, but also the more likely it is shared. If yours wins, there's a 29% chance that someone else wins too. The take-home amount allows for that. Lottery prizes in Australia are tax free!
