Officials from the Lott said the $150 million draw would be the second biggest jackpot Australia has seen.
The largest draw was $160 million in October 2022.
“It’s undeniable that the idea of winning a slice of the $150 million division one prize will captivate the minds of many Australians this week as anticipation and excitement builds,” spokesperson Anna Hobdell said.
“We expect a surge in lottery outlets and online as we approach Thursday night’s multimillion-dollar draw, with up to half of Australian adults expected to have an entry into the draw.
“To give an indication of the scale of excitement projected for the upcoming draw, the peak of sales for this week’s $100 million Powerball draw was at 5.46pm when Aussies grabbed 7224 entries in a single minute.”
Tonight’s $100 million jackpot was one of the lottery’s highest in Australia for months.
Three Australians shared the $90 million Oz Lotto jackpot on Boxing Day.
