Two days after a Sydney woman took home $100m in Oz Lotto, Aussies have the chance to win another $60m in Powerball.

Two days after a Sydney woman took home $100m in Oz Lotto’s biggest single prize draw in history, Australians have the chance to win another $60m in Powerball.

One in six Australian adults are expected to buy a ticket in Thursday’s draw, which is the first time in four months the Powerball jackpot has reached a monstrous cash prize.

Ticket sales are expected to peak about 6.15pm on Thursday as people rush to get an entry before the 7.30pm cut-off.

The most Powerball tickets sold in a single minute was 8000 at 6.17pm last November when the jackpot hit $100m.

If you need a bit of luck on your side, the luckiest state to win the most division one Lottery wins last financial year was in Victoria with NSW winners taking home the most prize money.

There were four division one winners from Sydney, Melbourne and Eli Waters/Urraween in Queensland.

“From Burnie in Tasmania to Bassendean in Western Australia, Salisbury in South Australia to Sydney, hundreds of Aussies across the country experienced the indescribable thrill of a division one win last financial year,” The Lott spokesman Matt Hart said.

“Some players tell us they deliberately pick outlets that have recently sold a major lottery prize in the hope of continuing the winning streak, while other players choose different outlets, believing lightning won’t strike twice.”

Powerball has delivered 13 division one entries across Australia so far this year totalling $313m in prize money, but if the jackpot does not go off on Thursday next week’s draw will reach $100m.

On Tuesday a woman from Elizabeth Hills in Sydney’s west, was “wide-eyed in disbelief” to find out she was the only division one winner in Tuesday’s draw taking home $100m.

The woman had just finished watching Married At First Sight when she received the life-changing phone call.

“Oh my gosh. I still can’t believe it. I only treat myself to lotteries when there’s a big jackpot, and I saw $100 million on offer in Oz Lotto and decided to give it a go.

“I still feel like I’m being pranked or I’m dreaming.”

The stunned winner shared the multimillion-dollar windfall would signal the end of her workdays for good, and would allow her to buy a house of her own.

“I love my job, but I won’t need to work seven days a week anymore. It’s actually really nice to think that I won’t need to work,” she said

“I’ll finally be able to buy a place of my own. It’s so exciting.”
