Western Australian Ticket Wins $40 Million Powerball Jackpot
A ticket sold in Western Australia has won the entire $40 million Powerball division one jackpot, according to Lotterywest.
The winning numbers for Thursday's draw were 18, 14, 13, 16, 21, 19, 29, with the Powerball number 18.
Lotterywest CEO Susan Hunt said that the win was a great result for the state. "To average around two division one wins per week this year is a great result for our State and players," she said. "This Powerball jackpot run alone has seen more than $6.4 million raised for the Western Australian community through the Lotterywest grants program. When WA players win, the entire WA community benefits."
This latest win marks WA's 19th division one win across all Lotto games so far this year, and the first division one Powerball win of the year. Hunt noted that the win was a reminder that anyone could win and encouraged all players to check their tickets.
Congratulations to the lucky ticket holder from Western Australia who is now $40 million richer!
