Record Jackpots
- The Powerball jackpot reached its highest point at A$200 million on 1 February 2024 which became the biggest prize in Australian lottery history. The six consecutive rollover draws without Division One winners led to increased ticket sales and nationwide player excitement. The record-breaking sum was finally claimed by ticket holders in New South Wales and Queensland, marking a historic moment for lottery enthusiasts across the country.
- The Powerball jackpot reached A$160 million on October 27th 2022 which became the second-largest Australian lottery prize. The remarkable figure was driven by a series of rollovers that captured widespread media attention and saw players lining up both online and at retail outlets. Multiple winners shared the prize, highlighting the growing popularity and dramatic potential of the Powerball game.
- The largest Oz Lotto jackpot reached A$111,972,151.04 during the November 6, 2012 draw when four winners received equal shares of the prize money. The A$100 million guaranteed prize pool increased due to high ticket sales and promotional guarantees. The event confirmed Oz Lotto as one of Australia's leading lottery games while establishing itself as the standard for massive jackpot wins.
Lottery Spending Trends
During the 2020–21 financial year Australians spent more than A$7.1 billion on lottery tickets and instant scratch-its which exceeded the A$4.3 billion spent in 2010–11 and the A$3.4 billion spent in 2000–01. The state of New South Wales generated the highest lottery sales at A$1.9 billion while Victoria followed with A$1.8 billion and Queensland with A$1.4 billion. The Queensland Audit Office reported that Queenslanders lost more than A$500 million to lotteries during the 2022–23 financial year which led to increased demands for responsible gambling regulations and expanded community support programs.
