One Australian wins entire $100 million Powerball jackpot

One lucky Australian has taken out last nights' entire Powerball jackpot.

A mother from NSW is the one and only winner of the record breaking $100 million Powerball jackpot.

The jackpot actually increased to $107 million due to unprecedented popularity and ticket sales.

The woman - who has chosen to remain anonymous - thought she had won $107,000 when officials first rang her.

When she realised it was $107 million she celebrated with a glass of champagne.

She has said she wont retire and will give some money to family, donate some to charity, and buy a caravan.

WA had two division two winners, each taking home over $94,000.

One ticket was purchased from The Lucky Charm in Kalamunda, and the other through a Lotterywest online membership.

Lotterywest CEO Susan Hunt said although no one from WA took out the top prize, millions had been raised for local organisations in the process.

"While we would have been thrilled for WA to have taken out the Division One prize pool, the good news is that more than $23 million has been raised over the jackpot run to support the WA community through Lotterywest grants."
