About Powerball Australia
Powerball draws every Thursday at 8:30 PM AEST and holds the record for Australia's biggest ever lottery prize — $200 million in September 2019. It's a dual-barrel game: you pick 7 numbers from 1 to 35, then 1 Powerball number from a separate barrel of 1 to 20. Because of the two-barrel format, the top-prize odds are steep, which is exactly why jackpots build up so fast and regularly push past $100 million.
How to Play Powerball Australia
Choose 7 numbers from 1 to 35, plus 1 Powerball from 1 to 20. A game costs $1.25, and QuickPick is there if you want random numbers. On draw night, 7 balls come out of the first barrel and 1 Powerball from the second. You need all 7 main numbers AND the Powerball for Division 1. Tickets are sold at authorised outlets and online through The Lott.
Powerball Australia Odds and Prize Divisions
Powerball has 9 prize divisions. The Division 1 odds — 7 numbers plus the Powerball — are 1 in 134,490,400, the longest of any Australian game. That's why the jackpots get so enormous. Division 2 (7 numbers, no Powerball) is 1 in 7,078,443. The easiest tier to win is Division 9 at 1 in 66 — you just need 2 main numbers and the Powerball. Overall, roughly 1 in 44 tickets wins a prize. Jackpots start at $3 million with no upper cap.
Tips for Playing Powerball Australia
The Powerball number comes from its own barrel (1–20), so it's completely independent of your 7 main picks — keep that in mind when choosing. Syndicates are a popular way to play Powerball since you can pool money for more entries. Several of the biggest Australian jackpots have gone to syndicate groups. Our Number Generator creates random Powerball combos, and the Predictions page offers statistically-informed picks. Set a budget and don't chase losses.
