Thursday night\u2019s Powerball draw has sent the jackpot soaring to a breathtaking $40 million after no players across Australia managed to claim the division one prize.<\/p>\n
The Lotterywest website briefly glitched as ticket holders rushed to check their numbers, but hopeful players were left disappointed after no winning ticket matched all seven numbers and the Powerball.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 28, 4, 15, 22, 13, 5, 14 and the Powerball was 13.<\/p>\n
While there were no division one winners, four division two winners each took home $137,888.50, with none of the winners from Western Australia.<\/p>\n
A further 53 players won division three prizes, including six WA winners, who each scored $12,871.40.<\/p>\n
The huge Powerball draw comes after a Perth lotto outlet recently celebrated a major milestone.<\/p>\n
EE Hambley in Queens Park marked its 80th birthday, with the family-owned business having been passed down through four generations.<\/p>\n
The store has operated as a Supa IGA, Australia Post outlet and Lotterywest kiosk since 1946.<\/p>\n
It is WA\u2019s second-longest serving Lotterywest retailer and one of only 12 stores among nearly 500 to have sold Lotterywest games for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
Lotterywest chief executive Colin Smith said the organisation\u2019s community work and financial support would not be possible without retailers such as EE Hambley.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurviving 80 years and three generations of family business takes resilience, innovation, adaptability, loyalty, integrity, family values and community connection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thursday night\u2019s Powerball draw has sent the jackpot soaring to a breathtaking $40 million after no players across…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,1625,12067],"class_list":["post-804142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-lifestyle","tag-lotto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804142","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=804142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
