Lotto draw 1517: The ‘hot' and ‘cold' numbers you need to know ahead of tonight's Powerball's $100 million jackpot
About 10 million Australians are expected to take a punt on winning a whopping nine-figure sum of money. Powerball has jackpotted to $100 million and Thursday's draw 1517 is the highest lottery prize of the year. The last time a jackpot of such magnitude was up for grabs, ticket sales peaked at more than 6400 a minute. Only six people have won $100 million or more in Australian lotteries since 2018, with the seventh possible on Thursday evening. On Thursday, The Lott's Anna Hobdell joined Nat Barr on Sunrise, saying the best way to increase your chances is with a PowerHit ticket for the multimillion-dollar draw. 'We know many Aussies are vying for the chance to score the multimillion-dollar prize, and the best way to get a ticket is a PowerHit. It is a unique entry type to Powerball. 'It guarantees you the all-important Powerball needed to win Division One and a lot of people don't realise it is equivalent to 20 games. That's top tip for tonight's draw.' Hobdell then spoke of hot and cold numbers. Hot numbers being the most likely to be drawn out of the barrel, while cold numbers are the least likely to be drawn. 'When it comes to Powerball, our hot numbers from the main barrel are 9,17, 7, and you have also got your Powerball barrel which are 2 and 4,' Hobdell said. 'Our cold numbers are 33, 31, 29 from the main barrel, and the cold numbers from the Powerball barrel are numbers 14 and 12.' Hobdell explained how most winners spent their money. 'When we have surveyed our Division One winners months after the draw, we found that most of them invest for the future or perhaps help their nearest and dearest,' Hobdell said. 'We actually interviewed one of our winners recently who won $100 million, and she told us that she has bought a beachside property.' A Queensland woman was the last person to take home $100 million in February 2024, pocketing half of a $200 million Powerball jackpot. She has moved from Brisbane to the coast and says she is thankful for her dad, who picked up the winning phone call early in the morning. 'On a day-to-day basis, not a huge amount has changed,' the winner, who remained anonymous, said. 'I still get up for the 6am gym session and the dog still needs to be walked and fed.' An Adelaide man still holds the country's largest pay cheque from a lottery jackpot, after winning $150 million in May 2024. The odds of a single entry winning the division-one prize are more than 134 million to one. That's worse than successfully ringing someone by completely guessing their mobile number. - with AAP
