Australian lotteries: review 2020.02.24-03.01

Hello world!
During the last week (24 February-1 March), some exciting stuff was ongoing in the lotteries based in Australia. Therefore, we will review them - stay tuned and read further!

The overall prize pool for the Saturday (29 February) draw last week was $14,619,569. 436,262 players shared this in total. 4 players won the jackpot prize for scoring 6 mains correctly ($1,095,232 each); the chance of getting this particular combination was 1 in 8,145,060.

The draw on Thursday, 27 February, had the prize pool of $11,565,843 in total. It was distributed across 608,423 people. No one won the jackpot (which is acquired while getting 7 main numbers plus Powerball); this is exactly the same case as seen in the Powerball draws during the past few weeks. But we are happy to announce the player who won $320,536 for having 7 main numbers this week!. The chance to score them exactly was 1 in 7,078,443 - congratulations for having completed this difficult task.

Last Tuesday (25 February), the prize of $3,207,346 was divided between 126,088 players. There was no particular success in winning either the jackpot or 6 mains + 1 sup (i.e. the 2nd best prize), yet 43 players got the prize of $6,466 for 6 main numbers. The chance for this was 1 in 180,078.

All in all, $2,730,701 was divided amongst 108,883 players. Since the jackpot was not acquired, 8 players got the 2nd best prize (for correct 5 mains + 1 sup) - this time it was $14,378 for each player. For the Wednesday draw (26 February), the jackpot was not taken home either. 9 players won the 2nd best prize and received $13,270 each.

The draw last Saturday (February 29) had the total pool of $77,057. This sum was shared between 3,645 people. No one managed to win the jackpot, yet 2 players took home the 2nd best prize ($6,666 each with the chance of 1 in 55,556).

During 3 draws last week (Monday the 24th, Wednesday the 26th and Saturday the 29th), the total prize of $114,128 was divided amongst 24,030 players. No one won the jackpot in any of these draws.

There were no games of this lottery during the last week.

There were 2 draws last week (Wednesday 26 February and Friday 28 February). The jackpot was not taken home during neither of these draws.

As this lottery is ongoing on a daily basis during the week, it is more likely to win a prize than in other most popular lotteries. One player won the jackpot prize on 29 February, scoring $4,800,000 alone.
Congrats to all winners and participants once again and see you next week!
