Two lucky punters have won $50million each in Australia’s largest Powerball jackpot – but they might not know just yet.
The winning numbers in the Division 1 draw are 33, 3, 32, 13, 27, 35, 31, and the Powerball – 3.
But as thousands of people rushed to check whether they had won the life-changing sum on Thursday evening, the lottery website crashed.
The winning tickets were bought in NSW and the ACT.

Another 15 lucky people have won $122,000 each.
Thursday’s draw is the biggest jackpot offered in Powerball history as the prize rolled over for an eighth consecutive week.
Early on Thursday, The Lott spokesman Matt Hart told Daily Mail Australia that lottery outlets were expected to be busy.
‘We’re expecting it to be really busy at lottery outlets and online right up until the draw at 7.30pm on Thursday night,’ he said.
One in three Australian adults were expected to buy a ticket in Thursday night’s whopping $100 million draw.
The only other time a $100 million division one prize was up for grabs in Australia was for an Oz Lotto draw in 2012.
Earlier in the year, one lucky punter won $55million through Powerball, but left it to the very last week to claim his prize.
So, have you checked your ticket to see if you won?
