Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $60 Million After Fourth Consecutive Rollover

The Powerball jackpot has reached $60 million after no winner emerged from Thursday night's draw, marking the fourth consecutive week the top prize has not been claimed.

The unclaimed prize money will roll over to the next draw, potentially making it the second-largest lottery prize awarded in Australia this year.

"The Powerball jackpot is on the rise once again and we can't wait to see if someone snares $60million this week or whether the prize will climb higher for next week's draw," The Lott spokeswoman Anna Hobdell told Newswire.

According to Hobdell, the last time a single player claimed a $60 million Powerball jackpot was in May, when a woman from Queanbeyan won the prize.

This year, 16 division one winning entries in Powerball have collectively won $386 million. The lottery is also celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026.

In Thursday's draw, number 1585, there were 10 division two winners who each received $73,060.70, and 78 division three winners who each won $11,585.20.

The winning numbers for draw 1585 were 16, 3, 10, 24, 2, 11, and 6, with the Powerball number 14.
