Lotterywest spokesperson Sarah Dawson said she hopes Western Australia can soon claim its second division one win of the year
The Lott spokesman James Eddy urged keen participants to get their tickets ahead of time.
'As this is the largest lottery jackpot we've seen in Australia since December of 2022, we're expecting it to be busy in-store and online in the lead-up to next Thursday's draw,' he said.
'We're sure most Powerball players are already dreaming about what they'd do if they won a slice of this massive jackpot next week,' Mr Eddy said.
'The holiday of a lifetime, immediate retirement, your perfect home and all your other dreams could be a reality.'
Last week's draw produced four division two winners who each took home $280,009.50, bringing the total prize money taken out by division two to nine winners on Thursday to around $40.2m.
This week's winning Powerball numbers were 20, 11, 13, 9, 2, 25 and 31, and the Powerball number was 2.
The lottery expects around half of the adult Australian population to purchase a ticket.
In times of deepening economic hardship it's easy to imagine why.
