Discover the numbers that hold the key to jackpot glory
As the excitement builds for the upcoming 150 million Australian dollar Powerball jackpot, The Lott, Australia’s official lottery provider, has unveiled the most frequently drawn numbers that could be your ticket to becoming a millionaire.
If the dream of striking it rich in the lottery jackpot resonates with you, you’re not alone. Australians are gearing up for the second-largest lottery prize in the nation’s history, set to be drawn on Thursday with a staggering 150 million Australian dollars up for grabs – approximately 98 million USD.
The Lott has spilled the beans on the numbers that have graced winning tickets more often and those that have been less fortunate in the past.

When it comes to the Powerball numbers, the stars of the show are 19 and 2, while the less commonly drawn Powerball numbers are 14 and 16.
While these numbers have a history of making appearances, it’s crucial to note that the lottery is, by its nature, unpredictable. The chances of winning the jaw-dropping $150 million jackpot are a slim one in 134,490,400. Before investing your life savings in pursuit of a winning ticket, it’s wise to keep this staggering probability in mind.
Even if the grand prize eludes you, The Lott assures players of ‘hundreds of thousands of winners each week,’ referring to those who correctly guess some of the winning numbers and claim smaller prizes.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Powerball involves drawing numbers from two barrels. Seven numbers are drawn from the main barrel (numbered 1 to 35), and one Powerball number is drawn from the Powerball barrel (numbered 1 to 20). With nine prize divisions, even having two winning numbers plus the Powerball number in a single game can secure a prize.
If you’re feeling lucky and want to try your hand at the lottery, make sure to purchase your ticket before the draw, as Powerball draws close at 7:30 pm (AEST) every Thursday night.
