Congratulations to Powerball’s two lucky Division 1 winners who each took home over $35 MILLION in prize money. Division 2 payed out a comfortable $74,016.15. There was a total of 1.7 million winning tickets that generated over $108.6 MILLION in prizes for Australian punters.

A Queensland winner took home the top prize on an unregistered ticket which means they cannot be directly notified of their luck. The second winner was a group syndicate in New South Wales that saw a team of 15 people enjoy over $2.4 million each.

Powerball $70 MILLION Syndicates

Powerball $50 MILLION Jackpot

Golden Casket’s ‘Powerball’ has jackpotted to an incredible $50 MILLION this Thursday (12 Aug 2014 – Draw 1069). Visit our friendly staff at Nextra Chermside Newsagency to play your favourite numbers and try one of our exciting syndicate entries.

‘Chermside Champions’ is great if you haven’t played in a syndicate before: you’ll share six system entries with nine other players in our community. ‘Treasure Trove’ is an all-rounder option perfect for everyone to play – it has the smallest number of shares in our Powerball syndicate range so there will be less people to share any dividends with. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Boss, I Quit!’ is perfect for serious punters – the fifty Powerhit System 7 entries guarantee the Powerball number for each game!

Don’t forget you can also purchase five sizes of Quickpick entries before the big draw:

Entry Type Number of Games Price
MAXI Quickpick 50 games $46.45
JUMBO Quickpick 36 games $33.45
MEGA Quickpick 24 games $22.30
SUPER Quickpick 18 games $16.70
Standard Quickpick 12 games $11.15

Nextra Chermside Newsagency is located next to the Apple Store at Westfield Chermside Shoppingtown, Queensland.
