Powerball Lottery Games New Pricing

Powerball Update

We're excited to share that exciting changes are now in place. The first Powerball draw with these updates will be on Thursday 6 November 2025 (Draw 1538).

What's changing? 

From Draw 1538, you’ll have the chance to win even more with the starting Division 1 prize pool set to increase from $4 million to $5 million. Divisions 2 through 9 will also see boosted prize amounts, creating more value for winners.

Pricing update

To enable this larger prize, the price you pay for Powerball will also change from draw 1538. This includes a 20 cent per game increase to the base price from the lottery provider, and a 3.75c per game increase to our Oz Lotteries premium.

Can I still buy advance tickets in future draws?

Draw suppressions will be in place from 28 August 2025 (Draw 1527), meaning Draw 1538 will not be available for purchase until it opens on 31 October 2025.

There will be a brief outage for Powerball sales only between the close of Draw 1537 and the opening of Draw 1538 while we make these updates. All other games will remain available to play.

Can I keep my favourite numbers?

Yes, you can! There will be no changes made to the way you play your Favourite Numbers.

Will this affect my existing autoplay?

Your autoplay will continue as normal. However, you’ll notice the small price increase from Draw 1538 onwards.
