Australian Powerball History
The first draw took place in May 1996. Originally players had to select five numbers from 45 and a Powerball number from another choice of 45.
The game changed in March 2013, with players required to pick six numbers from a pool of 40 and a Powerball number from a separate set of 20. More prize tiers were also introduced to create more winners.
A ninth prize tier was added on Friday 13th April 2018 when further changes were made to Powerball to bring it up to its current format. The revamp saw players required to select seven main numbers from a choice of 35, plus one Powerball number between 1 and 20.
The record for the largest Powerball prize ever won was broken just a few months later when two players split AU$100 million.
