Story summary

The Powerball lottery jackpot for Australia has increased to $60 million after not being claimed for the fourth consecutive week. The last time a single winner took home an entire $60 million prize was in May when a woman from Queanbeyan won after swapping numbers at the last minute. This draw, labeled as Powerball 1585 on October 1, did not produce any division one winners. With this latest unclaimed win, the jackpot will continue to grow and could potentially be even higher for next week's drawing. So far in 2026, division one winners have collectively won $386 million across multiple draws. The Lott spokeswoman expressed excitement about who might claim this substantial prize or if it will rise further.
