Powerball is set to jackpot again from $40 million

Powerball is set to jackpot again after no one took out the massive $40 million first division prize. Check the winning numbers here.

Powerball’s top prize hit $40 million but no one had the numbers needed to take the first division prize home.

There were five division two winners however, each taking home more than $130,000.

The winning numbers were 23, 26, 7, 4, 33, 35, 22 and the Powerball was 17.

The last time Powerball was won was at the beginning of the month when a Townsville syndicate shared the incredible $60 million prize.

A Townsville man in the syndicate was busy watching the football when a lottery official rang him with the multimillion-dollar news.

“Can I just write that down that amount? You just ruined my good night’s sleep, but I think I can live with that,” he said.

“Put it this way, my children and grandchildren can live a very comfortable life now.”

Another of the North Queensland winners took great delight in breaking the news to her husband in the neighbouring room.

“Oh my god,” she cried with happiness. “You have no idea! I’ve got kids, grandkids, a beautiful husband and a mortgage. This is surreal.”

So far this year there have been nine Powerball division one winners, who have collectively taken home $299 million.
