Powerball division one winnings jackpot to $120 million after no winner in $80 million draw

Australians will have the chance to win the second biggest Powerball prize in the nation’s history.

The second biggest Powerball prize ever could be won next week when Australians will have the chance to nab a $120 million jackpot.

The mammoth prize is up for grabs after no player held a division one entry for Thursday night’s draw.

But despite the result, more than two million Aussies took home a slice of $47.6 million in lower division prizes.

Included in this was 18 division two winners who each nabbed $73,329.70.

The winning numbers for Thursday’s draw are 24 – 7 – 34 – 22- 13- 30 – 6, and the Powerball number was 10.

Millions of Australian hoped for a division one win on Thursday night.

A spokesman for The Lott said another huge surge in ticket buying is expected before next week.

“In September 2019, the game soared to a historic $150 million and we haven’t seen it climb past $80 million since … until now,” he said.

“With such a massive offer on the table, we’re expecting people right around the country to be dreaming about exactly how they’d transform their lives if they won that prize.

“And as a result, it’s going to be busy both online and in-store leading up to the draw, so make sure you get your hands on a ticket early.”
