Hopeful Aussies will spend the day dreaming of retirement and whirlwind trips around the world, with a whopping $100 million up for grabs in tonight’s Powerball draw.
The life-changing prize is the biggest Australian lottery offer in more than three months and is the sixth-largest jackpot in Australian lottery history.
According to The Lott, up to half of Aussie adults are expected to snap up a ticket, with thousands of entries per minute tipped to be generated both online and at newsagents.
“This $100 million Powerball jackpot is the biggest prize offered by any Australian lottery game in months, and we do anticipate a huge rush across the country,” The Lott‘s Anna Hobdell said.
“The last time Powerball offered a $100 million prize was in August when the peak of sales was at 6.17pm on the day of the draw when 8,681 tickets were sold in a single minute.
“On that occasion, the entire $100 million prize was won by an Aspley woman who discovered her winning ticket in her car glovebox”.
Those hoping to become a multi-millionaire this Christmas only have hours left to secure a last-minute entry before the draw closes at 7.30pm AEST.
