The Lott spokesperson James Eddy said up to half of all Australian adults were expected to buy a ticket, in the hopes of writing their name into the lottery record books.
“This Powerball roll has been one for the Australian lottery history books… We’re anticipating a rush online and in-store in the lead up to the record-breaking draw,” he said.
“Given the anticipation of the record-breaking $200 million Powerball draw, our advice to players is to get in early to avoid missing out on the chance to change your life.
“As the clock continues to tick closer to the draw close time, Australians are sure to be dreaming of how their life could change if they bagged even just a piece of the division one pie.
“It’s difficult to fathom a prize of this magnitude, but so exciting for Aussies to have the opportunity to change the course of their lives with a record breaking $200 million prize!”
Those hoping to become the country’s newest multi-millionaire have just hours left to enter, with the Powerball draw closing at 7.30pm AEST tonight.
