Secrets of winning Australia's Powerball $120MILLION jackpot on Thursday

Some $120million is up for grabs this week in the biggest Powerball prize in recent memory.

And organisers have now revealed the luckiest numbers and buying locations ahead of Thursday’s draw.   

Should the enormous prize is taken out by just one person it would be the largest individual win Australian history. 

On Thursday night a Powerball jackpot worth $120 million will be up for grabs, the second largest prize pool ever in Australian history

Statistics compiled by the Lott reveal the most frequently drawn numbers from the main barrel in last year were 17, 7, 9, 11, and 25. The least drawn were 6, 31, 15, and 33. 

For the Powerball itself, the most drawn number is 19 – while the least drawn is 18.

Of the 14 winning tickets last year seven were bought in NSW, four in Queensland, two in Victoria and one in Western Australia.

Two thirds of the winners bought their tickets from a licensed lottery outlet and 10 were QuickPick winners.

Half of last year’s winner had bought a PowerHit entry which guarantees a Powerball number.   

As up to half of Aussie adults expected to buy a ticket the Lott have revealed the lucky numbers and ‘lottery hotspots’ players should keep in mind

The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said: ‘If there’s just one Powerball division one winner this week, they will instantly become Australia’s biggest lottery winner ever.

‘This Powerball prize has captivated the nation, and I’m sure many Aussies are happily contemplating how it could transform their lives.

‘We’re expecting it to get busier and busier in-store and online as we inch closer to the draw’s close on Thursday evening. For anyone wanting the chance to win this incredible jackpot, they’ll need to have a ticket in their hands by 7.30pm AEST on Thursday.’

Peak sale time for last week’s Powerball tickets was 4.47pm when more than 6,000 tickets were bought.
