Thursday Powerball
Thursday Powerball is a lottery game for Australians. It involves selecting five numbers out of a total of 45 and a single Powerball number from another range of 45 numbers. The top prize has a minimum $3 million guaranteed. To determine the winners, 5 balls are drawn from one barrel. This is to get the winning numbers. A different barrel holds another 45 numbers. A single ball is drawn here which is the week's Powerball number.
Similar to other Lottery games in Australia, Thursday Powerball has various prize divisions. Division 1 is for getting all 5 winning numbers plus the Powerball digit. Division 2 is for getting just the 5 winning numbers minus the Powerball. Getting 4 winning numbers plus the Powerball will land the Division 3 prize. Three main numbers and the Powerball will give the winner a Division 4 prize. Division 5 is won by getting 4 winning numbers. A player who gets two main numbers and the single Powerball digit will receive the Division 6 prize while any player who successfully picks 3 winning numbers receives the Division 7 prize.
