$100m Powerball jackpot draw 1414: Get the winning numbers here on Thursday night

One lucky winner has taken out the entire $100m Powerball jackpot, instantly becoming one of the biggest lotto winners in Australian history. Here are the winning numbers.

The biggest lotto jackpot of 2023 so far resulted in one winner taking out the entire $100m Division 1 prize.

“We haven’t seen a $100 million Powerball draw since December 2022 and back then it was shared among three players who each received a life-changing $33.3 million right before the new year,” said The Lott’s Anna Hobdell.

The winner bought a ticket from the NSW/ACT lottery agency. Another 10 Division 2 winners each picked up more than $216,000.

It’s hard for normal people to comprehend just how much money $100m really is, so we prepared this ludicrous and completely impractical shopping list for the winner...

YOUR OWN TROPICAL ISLAND – $26.5m

This has to be top of the rich-list wish-list. As huge private tropical islands go, Hoffmans Cay in the Bahamas, a little over 200km east of Miami, is quite the bargain with an asking price of 26.5 million Australian dollars. But it’s completely undeveloped so ... take a tent.

Hoffmans Cay in the Bahamas is on the market for a mere $26.5m.

A PRIVATE JET – $34.5m

To commute to your island you’ll want a private jet … the filthy rich shouldn’t have to deal with airport queues. A new Gulfstream G280 private jet will get you to the Bahamas with a couple of refuelling stops.

I suppose you could argue that all those palm trees on your island will offset this carbon footprint.

BUY TWO FANCY HOUSES – $12m

A mega-mansion in Adelaide and an ultra-luxury penthouse in Sydney should set you back about $12m in total. Bonus – you don’t even need to worry about rising interest rates.

Oh this? It's just my crash pad in Sydney. Nothing too fancy ...

A LUDICROUSLY EXPENSIVE WATCH – $14.1m

Buying the world’s most expensive watch would eat up nearly half your fortune, so let’s not get extravagant. Just buy the 11th most expensive watch in history instead! The Patek Philippe Gobbi Milan is a 1953 rose gold watch with blue enamel dial. Why’s it so prized? It was the first ever “world time” watch – 40 cities around the world adorn its face, and an inner ring spins around to show the current time in each.

Using the internet to check whether your banker in Geneva is awake just seems vulgar.

A LIMITED-EDITION BUGATTI SUPERCAR – $5.5m

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is arguably the most insane supercar ever built. You’ll want your own racetrack because otherwise the cops might permanently station a radar gun outside your driveway. The quad-turbocharged 8-litre engine doesn’t kick into seventh gear until it hits 403km/h. There’s just one problem – it doesn’t come in right-hand drive.

This car smashes the speed limit in first gear.

A ROLLS-ROYCE – $1.1m

Of course, you aren’t going to take the Bugatti down to the shops. That’s what your Rolls-Royce Phantom is for. Its flagship model is nearly six metres long (so maybe parking will be a problem at the supermarket) but inside it’s just sheer luxury.

The top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce is beloved by English aristocrats, bank bosses and drug lords alike.

LIVING EXPENSES – $6m

And that leaves a little over $6m or so for living expenses, investments, gifts to relatives and friends, and charity donations. Can you tell I’m not a financial adviser?

This could be your future, a Powerball multimillionaire jetting off on another six-star holiday ... but you’ll need to be very, very, very lucky.

Plenty of other South Australians are living the millionaire lifestyle (albeit maybe not quite as extravagantly as our suggestions) after a lotto windfall.

A Somerton Park man won $10.6m on Powerball in March, while a Whyalla man won $1.8m the week before in Saturday Lotto.

At the start of January an OzLotto player from Findon won $20m, and there were two other big local wins in December.

If you don’t strike it big don’t be disheartened, the odds of winning the Powerball division one jackpot with a single game are a mere one in 134,490,400.

But this list of Australia’s 10 biggest lotto winners of all time shows that sometimes incredible good fortune does strike.

In 2019, a Sydney nurse became Australia’s current individual lottery record-holder when she won $107,575,649.

Powerball is drawn from two barrels. Seven numbers are drawn from the main barrel with balls numbered 1-35, and one Powerball is drawn from a pool of numbers 1-20.

You can cut your odds by buying a PowerHit entry, which guarantees you get the Powerball number, but that of course costs a lot more for a ticket.
