Powerball's record-breaking $107 million winner 

The record for the largest single winning Powerball entry is $107 million when a single entry won the entire division one prize on 17 January 2019.

The advertised jackpot amount was $100 million, but due to the strong number of entries purchased in the draw, the final division one prize was boosted to a phenomenal $107,575,649.08!

This jackpot was won by a Sydney mum who first thought she had won just $107,000.
