Powerball’s jackpot has been climbing for four weeks, with no one able to match the eight numbers needed for a life-changing win.

More than 615,000 tickets are expected to be sold for the draw – 740 every minute during the busiest hour between 4pm and 5pm.

Lotterywest spokesperson Hermione Coleman said the jackpot was guaranteed to have West Australians dreaming big.

“Winning $80 million would be life-changing and as we have seen, it does happen,” she said.

“There are a number of ways to play – one is in a syndicate, so you not only share the cost, but also the fun of winning with your work colleagues, mates or family.

“The other is with a Powerpik ticket which actually gives you the winning Powerball number that you need to win Division One – choosing the other seven numbers are up to you.”
