We’d all love to win the biggest jackpot possible and a lotto rollover is a guaranteed way to win one of the highest prizes a national lottery has to offer. So, why do jackpot rollovers occur and how do they actually work?

Why do lotteries have rollovers?

The main purpose of the Australia Powerball lotto jackpot rollover is to ensure that the next jackpot can increase in value every time they are not won.

Winning a Powerball jackpot is exciting but knowing that the next jackpot for the next draw is a lot more than you imagined is even more exhilarating.

How are national lottery jackpot rollovers funded?

The jackpots for many lottery games are partially funded by ticket sales so, when more tickets are purchased more money is added to the next draw that can be won with Australia Powerball.

Is there a rollover limit for the Powerball lotto in Australia?

Yes there is. There is currently a jackpot cap in place and the top prize can only rollover 25 consecutive times. If no player matches the winnings in the 26th draw then the jackpot is evenly distributed to players in the lower prize tiers.

What happens when someone matches the winning numbers during a rollover?

Much like other lottery games, once the winning numbers are matched then the Australia Powerball jackpot will then be won by the player who holds the corresponding winning ticket.

Once won, the rollovers will automatically come to an end and after that final draw the top prize will revert to the minimum guaranteed jackpot amount of AU$3 million.

Despite the larger amount being won, tickets purchased into the next draw still put players in the running to take home life-changing winnings. One draw is all it takes to become an overnight multimillionaire so play Australia Powerball online today.
