A lucky Australian can become a millionaire overnight if they win a whopping $20 million Powerball tonight.

The draw comes just weeks after a South Australian mother became an overnight millionaire after winning the full $40 million Division One prize.

Snowtown’s mother, who lives in mid-state, said she plans to use the money to go on vacation worldwide after a “tough few months.”

Earlier this year, lotto organizers revealed the simple tricks that can increase your chances of winning money, including lucky numbers and locations.

From the main barrel, the most frequently drawn winning numbers are 17, 7, 2, 9, and 25. The least frequently drawn numbers are 31, 6, 33, 15, and 34.

For the individual Powerball loop, the most drawn numbers are 19 and 3, while 18 and 16 are the least drawn.

“There are six winning entries so far in Powerball Division 1 in 2022 that have raised more than $226.6 million,” Lott spokesman Matt Hart said in May.

“Three of these wins were in New South Wales, with one each in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.

“Two-thirds of those winning entries were QuickPick, where the numbers are picked for you by the computer when you buy a ticket.”

Mr. Hart also said that syndicates have performed well this year, with a third of the first division winners being part of a group.

Also accounting for a third of 2022 wins were unique Powerhit entries, which guarantee that one of your songs is the all-important Powerball.

Mr. Hart recommended that participants have an online account where you can check your numbers right after the draw – rather than going to the kiosk or waiting for Powerball to contact you.

Last year, 14 Powerball entrants from across the country took home more than $550 million in prize money.
