Powerball's Biggest Winners

In May 2024, a South Australian man went into the history books as the biggest ever individual Australian lottery winner when he won a life-changing $150 million prize! He joins the ranks of other major Powerball winners, including a New South Wales couple and a Queensland woman who split the record-breaking $200 million prize to the tune of $100 million each in February 2024.

The power of a PowerHit

In 2023, 20 Powerball division one winning entries across Australia pocketed more than $552 million in prize money. More than half of these wins were PowerHit entries – an entry unique to Powerball that guarantees the all-important Powerball number needed to win division one.

“I have a subscription into Powerball so I don’t miss getting a ticket into every draw! I’m so glad I did now! This is unbelievable!”
