Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 23:02 · Archive

New South Wales has won seven of the last 16 major Powerball jackpots this year.

New South Wales has dominated recent Powerball division one wins, capturing seven of the last 16 major jackpots drawn this year. More than $160 million in winnings have been handed out this year so far. A $100 million jackpot will be drawn on Thursday night at 7.30pm, following five consecutive draws without a division one winner.

Khat McIntyre, a spokesperson for The Lott, said the prospect of winning 'this life-changing jackpot' would get Australians 'dreaming big this week'. She encouraged players to register their tickets with a player card or online account so organisers could contact them immediately after the draw if they win.

NSW and Victoria together have claimed the vast majority of winnings in 2026, with 12 of the 16 division one winners from the two states. Queensland has had two winners this year, whilst Tasmania and Western Australia have each had one. South Australia and the Northern Territory have yet to pick up a win.
