- Next week’s jackpot is $60 million.
- The draw had 10 division two winners and 78 in division three.

Australia's Powerball is a weekly national lottery game operated throughout the country. Players select numbers and win prizes depending on how many of their choices match the official draw results, with the top prize (division one) requiring all six main numbers plus the Powerball number to be matched.
When no one wins division one in a weekly draw, the unclaimed prize money does not disappear—instead, it rolls over to the following week's draw, adding to that week's division one jackpot. This process can continue for multiple weeks running, progressively increasing the top prize as draws pass without a division one winner.
Large lottery jackpots attract considerable public attention and encourage greater participation, even though the odds of winning division one remain extremely low regardless of how large the prize becomes. Players can still win smaller prizes in other divisions each week, with prizes distributed to those who match fewer numbers than required for division one.
