Powerball jackpot rolls over as UK launch approaches; Australian player claims $40 million prize

The Powerball drawing on July 6 produced no grand‑prize winner, causing the estimated $416 million jackpot to roll over to the next drawing. The winning numbers were 17‑44‑63‑66‑67 with Powerball 4, and the Power Play multiplier was 2×. No tickets matched the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize or the $1 million Match 5 prize. Powerball is set to expand internationally, with a launch in the United Kingdom scheduled for July 21 and the first UK drawing on July 22.

In Australia, a ticket sold at the Thistle Kiosk in Westfield Woden was discovered weeks after the June 25 draw to be the sole division‑one winner of a $40 million Powerball prize. The winner, who had not registered the ticket, learned of the win after seeing a news appeal, and said he was in shock. He plans to keep working and save most of the money for his future children and grandchildren.
