Why was Powerball changed?

The Australian lottery provider and operators conducted a comprehensive game review and decided to supercharge the game to enhance the features that customers enjoy most.

The new game will now feature big jackpots with an increased overall chance of winning any prize:

• The amount of prize divisions has increased from 8 divisions to 9
• The odds of winning any prize has increased from 1-in-78 to 1-in-44
• A $100,000,000 jackpot per year is 6-times more likely

The odds of winning Division 1 are 1 in 134,490,400 based on a 1 standard game entry. Previously, this was 1 in 76,760,600. 

The quantity of Main Numbers available to be drawn has decreased from 40 to 35. Customers will now need to match 7 Main Numbers to win Division 1, up from the previously required 6. 

Below is the new Division Prize table for Powerball.
