A lucky Aussie has matched all the required numbers tonight to take home the entire $10 million jackpot in the Powerball draw held on Thursday, July 11, 2024.
The winning numbers for draw 1469 were 17, 20, 9, 12, 19, 22, and 16, with the Powerball number 9.
The lone winner will enjoy the $10 million division one pool in its entirety this time after another single player took home the entire $12 million jackpot last week.
According to the preliminary calculations, the winning ticket was sold in Queensland.
Unlike other lotteries in Australia, Powerball jackpots are not usually shared among many winners due to the extremely high odds of 1 in 134 million. In comparison, the chance of winning the top prize is about 1 in 62 million for Oz Lotto and about 1 in 8 million for the Weekday Windfall or Saturday Lotto.
To win the jackpot, you need to match all seven winning numbers plus the Powerball number in a single game panel.
The total prize pool for this draw amounted to $22,049,769.46, with numerous winners in the lower divisions:
- Division 1: One winner took home the entire $10,000,000.00.
- Division 2: Twenty-one winners each received $15,962.80, sharing a total of $335,218.80.
- Division 3: Thirty-seven winners took home $11,263.75 each, totaling $416,758.75.
- Division 4: Six hundred fifty winners were awarded $557.55 each, amounting to $362,407.50.
- Division 5: One thousand five hundred thirty-six winners received $176.95 each, contributing to a pool of $271,795.20.
- Division 6: Twenty-three thousand six hundred fifty-one winners won $72.00 each, leading to a total of $1,702,872.00.
- Division 7: Twenty-eight thousand seven hundred ten winners each received $46.05, summing up to $1,322,095.50.
- Division 8: One hundred forty-seven thousand eighty-five winners were awarded $19.10 each, totaling $2,809,323.50.
