The last major Powerball winner was a NSW player who pocketed $50m on November 24.

He was just the latest in a surge of big-money Powerball winners this year, including two people who each won $63.3m in February, a Canberra man who scored $60.7m in June, a mum from Snowtown in SA who snaffled $40m in September and three winners who shared $53.3m each in the record-breaking $160m jackpot in October.

“There have already been more Powerball division one wins so far in 2022 than there were during each of the past three years,” said The Lott’s Matt Hart.

“NSW players have enjoyed a stellar 2022, scoring more than half of the Powerball division one wins to date. We’ve also seen four wins land in Victoria, two in Western Australia and one each in Queensland and South Australia.”
