One Ticket Claims Entire Jackpot
A West Australian ticket has claimed the entire $30 million Powerball jackpot from Thursday night’s draw. The ticket was the only Division One winner across the country, which makes the result exceptionally rare. The winning numbers were 34, 17, 35, 27, 30, 14, 32 and the Powerball was 17.
Powerball Win Marks WA’s Largest for 2025
The win represents the biggest Division One prize for Western Australia since October 2024. At that time, a group of workmates shared a $30 million Powerball win. Lotterywest spokesperson Sarah Dawson confirmed the significance of Thursday night’s result.

“Wonderful to Celebrate WA’s First for 2025”
Sarah Dawson said, “It’s wonderful to be celebrating our first Division One Powerball winner for 2025.” She encouraged ticket holders to check their entries as soon as possible. “I’m sure plenty of West Aussies have holiday plans booked for the Easter weekend, but if you had a ticket in tonight’s draw, make sure to check it because you might be able to extend your holiday,” she added.
No Division Two Winners Declared
No players won in Division Two during Thursday night’s draw. Seventy-five winners claimed Division Three prizes, each collecting $16,726.85. The latest Powerball win follows one of the country’s biggest Oz Lotto wins earlier this week.

Some Syndicate Members Remain Unaware
Some winners have yet to discover their windfall because they did not register their tickets with The Lott Members Club. Officials have started contacting registered members to inform them of their life-changing prizes.

Thank you!” He revealed plans to use the winnings to join his family overseas. “I have some family overseas who are enjoying a holiday without me, but now I’ll be able to join them,” he said. “I can’t stop saying thank you!”
The Lott Urges Players to Check Tickets
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell confirmed that efforts are ongoing to reach all 15 syndicate winners. “It’s remarkable that 15 Queenslanders became multi-millionaires tonight!” she said. “While we’ve tried contacting those who registered their tickets to The Lott Members Club, some may have yet to discover the good news!”
