Thursday\u2019s Lotto<\/a> division one prize has inflated to a bonkers amount after the jackpot failed to go off for a fifth week in a row.<\/p>\n

The Powerball has now ballooned to an astonishing $80 million after no ticketholders across the country were able to pick the numbers needed to scoop the top prize.<\/p>\n

Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said a West Aussie player could be on track to take equal first as the State\u2019s largest division one winner on record.<\/p>\n

\u201cWA\u2019s biggest Lotto win to date is an $80 million Powerball prize, which was won by a group of 55 ladies from a gym in Perth\u2019s northern suburbs in December 2021,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen jackpots reach these heights, it\u2019s a great opportunity for players to get a syndicate together with family, friends or workmates, to share the cost of a ticket and hopefully the joy of a win.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll you need to do is gather a group of players, decide on spend per person, and head to your local retailer to set up the syndicate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite falling short of division one and two, 13 West Aussie players managed to net a significant haul worth more than $9,500 in division three.<\/p>\n

The winning numbers for draw #1528 were 33, 4, 14, 30, 1, 21 and 10. The all-important Powerball was 6.<\/p>\n

Ticket\u2019s for Powerball\u2019s mammoth $80 million jackpot are available for purchase in-store and online until 6pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thursday\u2019s Lotto division one prize has inflated to a bonkers amount after the jackpot failed to go off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,1625,12067],"class_list":{"0":"post-102311","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-lifestyle","12":"tag-lotto"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
