‘The last time we had a $100 million Powerball draw was only six weeks ago,’ Ms Hobdell said.
‘A Bankstown dad pocketed the entire jackpot prize and became Australia’s second-biggest individual lottery winner,’ she added.
‘On that occasion, the peak of sales was at 6.29pm on the day of the draw when more than 8,227 tickets were sold in a single minute.’
Ms Hobdell said the best advice for anyone wanting to take home the ‘mammoth’ payout was to get in early.
‘Our tip to players is to register any Powerball entries to a player card or online account,’ she said.
‘That is so they can be contacted immediately after the draw should they score a slice of the division one prize.
‘We also recommend players ensure their contact details are up to date as we will want to reveal the life-changing news as soon as possible.’
Lotterywest revealed the most popular winning tickets from its Division One winners in Western Australia were ‘slikpik’ ones.
Some 53 Western Australian ticket holders have taken out a Division One prize worth a combined $166 million with more than 70 per cent coming from a ‘slikpik’ ticket.
An 18 game slikpik accounted for seven Division One winners, while 12 and 50 game slikpiks created six winners each.
Those who purchase the ticket will be given a group of random numbers that is picked out for them, after they pick a draw they want to enter.
As many as half of all Australian adults are expected to be holding a ticket for the Powerball draw when entries close on Thursday at 7.30pm AEST
Last year, three players took home a share of a whopping $160 million lottery draw while another family man from NSW’s Coffs Harbour took home $126million.
This year’s biggest winner so far was a man with his wife in Bankstown, south-west Sydney, with the pair scoring the $100million Powerball in June.
He told the Australian National Lottery: ‘Am I dreaming? I’m a millionaire now?’
He said he would spend the money on a new home, but planned on continue to work before retiring.
