Lotto: Powerball $100 million jackpot could smash WA Lotterywest record

Key points

• A $100 million Powerball jackpot is up for grabs on Thursday night, and a single winning Western Australian ticket would set a state record. The prize would eclipse the $80 million shared by a northern suburbs gym syndicate in December 2021.
• Lotterywest chief executive Colin Smith said the state's three biggest Powerball wins had all gone to syndicates.
• Lotterywest expects ticket sales to peak between 4pm and 5pm, and players are urged to buy early before the 6pm cut-off.
