Perth, WA — A West Australian has taken home a massive $10 million share of the $20 million Powerball jackpot after Thursday’s draw, with only one other Division One winner recorded nationwide (from Victoria).
The win came in Powerball Draw #1547 on January 8, 2026. Lottery officials said the result is a standout early-year moment for WA players, and comes after a strong run of top-division wins across the state last year.
Winning numbers (Draw #1547)
Main numbers: 16, 25, 17, 15, 27, 7, 26

The draw also delivered strong returns for other local punters: 19 WA tickets landed Division Two wins worth $11,604.45 each, while four WA entries claimed Division Three prizes of $12,492.35 apiece.
Players are being urged to check their tickets carefully, including entries bought online or via syndicates, as major winners have up to 12 months to claim prizes in WA.
