Australians could win a life-changing amount of money as the Powerball jackpot rises to $100 million.
Next week’s draw could be a big one as no First Division winners have been chosen in the last four draws, bringing the potential winnings to $100 million.
So far this year, three Australians have each taken home $100 million in Powerball winnings.
Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said the draw could make Christmas dreams come true.
“It’s been more than three months since Powerball last offered $100 million to Australian lottery players – on that occasion the entire prize was won by an Aspley woman,” Ms Hobdell said.
“Christmas is a time to dream big, and with $100 million on the line in Powerball, those dreams can come true this holiday season and beyond.”
The $100 million jackpot is the sixth largest in Australian lottery history, with entries closing at 7.30pm on November 28.
There have been 16 Powerball wins in the First Division this year, with an Adelaide man becoming the country’s biggest individual lottery winner when he took home $150 million from a $200 million jackpot.
