The Powerball has surged to an enormous $40 million after the division one prize remained unclaimed for yet another draw. Thursday's lottery draw #1570 saw the $20 million top prize go unclaimed once more, as five players matched all winning numbers but failed to secure the Powerball.
Draw Details
The winning numbers from draw #1570 were 20, 28, 21, 6, 26, 29, 1, and the Powerball was 19. Despite the excitement, no ticket across Australia matched all seven numbers plus the Powerball, leading to the jackpot rolling over.
Western Australia's Results
It was a relatively quiet evening for Western Australian players, with the state claiming only one division three prize worth $15,845.60. Sandgropers will be hoping for a change in luck when the next draw takes place.
Recent Heartwarming Win
The result follows the touching story of a terminally ill Western Australian man who won $772,000 in the Saturday Lotto draw. The man, in his 50s, and his wife shared their emotional reaction after claiming one of eight division one prizes.
“I was well prepared with no debt and decent super but now I know that my family will be set up really well after this win,” he said.
The winning numbers appeared on line 16, a detail that left the couple astonished. “We were married on the 16th and we won 10 years and one week after we were married,” the man’s wife said. “We’ve been building lots of memories but it will be hard to top this one. And now I can finally say I’m married to a millionaire.”
With the Powerball jackpot now at $40 million, all eyes will be on next week's draw to see if a lucky Australian finally claims the life-changing prize.
