Powerball to jackpot above $20 million next week

Powerball will jackpot above a staggering $20 million with no one winning the big prize. Check out the winning numbers here.

Powerball is set to jackpot above a staggering $20 million after no one won division one.

However, six people each picked up almost $70,000 each after splitting the division two prize pool.

The winning numbers were 20, 12, 26, 4, 10, 34, 13 and the powerball was 1.

The jackpot will continue to climb until it is eventually claimed.

The last time someone scored a jackpot of this magnitude was in January this year.

Two winners, one from Queensland and one from NSW, split $20 million between them.

The Queenslander was a tradie in his 30s who won the prize on January 21.

“I went to bed early last night because I’d had a busy day, but I woke up at 2am and just started checking my emails,” he told The Lott at the time.

“I saw a few emails there, including one about Powerball, so I went on The Lott app. At first I thought, ‘Cool, I’ve won $10,000’, but then I realised I’d actually won a lot more.”

The tradie said he still goes to work, despite the $10 million windfall.

“I’m self-employed, so I’ve still got to work, and I’ll keep working even after this.

“I’ve always said if I won the lottery, I’d keep working. I’d get bored otherwise, but this just takes the worries away.”

So far this year, there have been eight Powerball division one winners who have collectively scored $239 million.

The Lott’s Ally Ramsamy said she was curious if someone will emerge $20 million richer this Thursday.

“We’re eagerly waiting to see if we crown another Powerball division one winner for this financial year,” she said.

“Imagine all the exciting plans you could make for the new financial year with an extra $20 million in your bank account.”
