The Lott: $100 Million Jackpot Excitement

If one lucky WA player takes home the entire $100 million jackpot on Thursday night, it will be a record win for the state. There were no division one winners in last week’s Thursday Lotto draw, skyrocketing tonight’s Powerball to $100 million, the biggest jackpot since May. More than 205,000 WA winners shared in minor prizes last Thursday night, including a division two winner set to claim $149,000.

Lotterywest chief executive Colin Smith encourages millionaire hopefuls to purchase tickets early to avoid crowds. We are expecting the busiest time for ticket sales to be between 4pm and 5pm this afternoon, with around 920 tickets sold each minute, he said. Tonight’s jackpot is a great opportunity to create a syndicate with family or friends and share the cost of a ticket and possibly the joy of a win. Significant division one wins in WA are often shared by syndicates, including a group of workmates who shared a $53 million Powerball prize in October 2022, which is fantastic to see.

It is expected that up to half of Australian adults will have a ticket for tonight’s mega-draw. Funds raised from ticket sales will help Lotterywest grant $2.5 million to the Shire of Derby to upgrade community spaces and engage young locals.
