As the $80 million Powerball jackpot draw approaches, excitement is building among players in Western Australia. With the potential for history to repeat itself, Lotterywest has shared valuable insights and statistics to help participants make informed choices when purchasing their tickets.
Luckiest Numbers Revealed
Powerball is ultimately a game of chance, yet certain numbers have shown a higher frequency of victories in past draws. Players often seek out these “luckiest” numbers to enhance their chances:
- Most Frequently Drawn Numbers: 7, 9, 11, 17
- Common Powerball Digits: 2, 4
- Least Lucky Numbers: 31, 26, 13

Western Australia’s Winning Legacy
Western Australia has seen exciting Powerball wins. The largest jackpot win on record occurred in December 2021, when a group of 55 friends won the $80 million prize. More recently, in January 2026, a grandfather from Pilbara won $10 million, marking WA’s inaugural Powerball victory for the year.
In September 2025, the jackpot reached $80 million again, resulting in a $20 million win for a resident of Peel. Last year, four Powerball winners emerged from Western Australia, marking the state’s highest annual win count since 2016.
Popular Ticket Types in WA
Players in Western Australia have their preferred methods of purchasing tickets. The most popular ticket types include:
- Powerpik 7
- Slikpik 12
- Slikpik 18
To win the jackpot, participants must match all seven winning numbers along with the crucial Powerball. The Powerpik slip plays a significant role, as it identifies the Powerball number necessary for securing both the jackpot and additional prizes.
Group Play for Greater Chances
Lotterywest recommends playing as a group to maximize chances and minimize costs. Zoe Wender, a spokesperson for Lotterywest, encourages players to consider joining a syndicate or creating one with friends or family.
“Sharing a ticket can lead to life-changing prizes, just like the 55 winners who have enjoyed their $80 million prize over the last four years,” Wender stated.
Syndicates can be arranged in-store or players can join existing ones. Tickets for Thursday’s Powerball draw remain available until 6 PM on the day of the event, both online and in-store.
