Million-Dollar Powerball Numbers

Powerball is one of Australia’s favourite lotto games, with jackpots reaching up to a record-breaking $150 Million! Whether you play every week or just on the odd occasion, it can be confusing to decide which numbers to play. But there’s no need to worry – we’re here to answer your top Powerball numbers questions and give you statistics on the best Powerball numbers to help you when you play.

Is it better to play my own numbers or a QuickPick?

While many players have their own way of playing lotto numbers, neither is necessarily better. Both options have equal chances of winning and have resulted in previous Powerball winners. Some play numbers that have meaning to them, such as birthdays or anniversary dates. Others will choose to QuickPick their tickets and play random sets of numbers. 

However, if you are choosing your numbers, it is important to remember to select your numbers from the full range of numbers. Powerball’s main numbers range from 1 to 35, while the Powerball is drawn from another set of numbers ranging from 1 to 20.  Those that play their own numbers using special dates can only use numbers from 1 to 31. In Powerball, the main numbers go to 35. This means you could potentially miss out on the jackpot by leaving out 32, 33, 34, or 35.
