The Australian Powerball jackpot once more went unclaimed - as sadly nobody managed to match the winning numbers.

On the positive side though, this now means there is an enormous jackpot of $50 Million this Thursday - which is the largest ever jackpot for an Australian lottery.

So are we about to see the richest ever Australian lottery winner?

The Australian Powerball game is designed to create very big prizes - and of course very big jackpot winners. The largest ever lottery wins have been more than $30 million only 4 times. And that’s since the game launched back in 1996, making the draw this week a very special event for all Australians.

Who were the previous big winners?

Three of those jumbo jackpots were won playing the Powerball game, with one each from Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Oz Lotto provided the fourth biggest win.

Oz Lotto has also produced the biggest ever Australian lottery prize to date. And it happened just a few weeks back. An mind boggling first division prize of $47 Million was claimed on 29 April 2008. It was shared by just two winning tickets, both bought in Sydney’s western suburbs. One was a young man who claimed $24 Million, the other a syndicate of laboratory workers - who after sharing out the win still got $1.5 Million each in their pockets.
