Life-changing jackpot: The Lott reveals the luckiest numbers ahead of $100m Powerball jackpot

Australian lottery trends have been revealed ahead of the monster $100m jackpot. One lucky punter could walk away with a staggering $100m during Thursday’s Powerball as winnings stacked up. It could mark the third biggest prize of the entire year, as well as the sixth largest in Australian lottery history. Despite it all coming down to luck, a few winning trends have been spotted.

So far 11 Powerball division one winners have pocketed more than $492m this year, with five wins being in NSW ($210m) four in Queensland ($120m), and one each in South Australia ($150m) and Victoria ($12m). More than half of the winning entries were QuickPicks, and almost half were PowerHit entries, which is a Powerball entry that guarantees the Powerball number needed to win division one. Almost half were also small entries of 36 or less. “Hot” and “Cold” numbers The main barrel, where seven numbers are drawn from 35, has brought several frequently drawn numbers, including 17, 7, 3 and 9. The least frequently drawn include 15, 33, 31 and 26. The power barrel’s most drawn numbers are 2 and 4, while the least frequently drawn ones are 14 and 16.

Mitchell in the ACT (2911), Salisbury in South Australia (5108), Casuarina in the Northern Territory (0810) and Burnie in Tasmania (7320) all sold the biggest division one prizes in the respective states and territories. Bassendean in Western Australia (6054) sold two division one winning entries. Up to half of Aussie adults are tipped to try their luck at this Thursday’s draw, with The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart calling the jackpot “life-changing”. “If just one person takes home the entire $100 million prize on Thursday night, they’ll not only receive a substantial boost to their bank account but also share the crown of Australia’s third biggest lottery winner ever,” he said. “Only five Aussies know what it’s like to win a lottery prize of $100 million or more, but perhaps we’ll add to that tally on Thursday night. “The idea of winning this life-changing jackpot is sure to get Aussies dreaming big this week.” Source link via The Novum Times

Want to know more about the main stage speakers at ICON11? In the third installment of our series #ICONspeak, we’ve chatted with Loveis Wise.

Loveis is a freelance illustrator living in Los Angeles. They describe themself as “an expression of joy and oneness with you,” and their work features bold colors and with a sense of play—all while speaking to themes such social consciousness and resilience. Loveis’ extensive client list includes The New Yorker, Google, The New York Times, BuzzFeed News, and Instagram.

For those that are unfamiliar with your work, how would you describe your style? 

I usually describe my work as joyous & vibrant!

How have you honed your visual language throughout the years?

Over the years, I learned that I wanted to cultivate more playfulness in my work but also speak to themes of social awareness, spirituality, and resilience.

Can you tell us more about how joy plays a role in your work?

I started working with this element mostly because, it can sometimes feel hard to excavate in a world where uncertainty and trauma boils over. Even the act of expressing my own joy didn't always feel as accessible to me growing up. So, in order to reclaim it, I realized that it was so important for me to create a world in my work where folks could feel into that feeling as well or even understand that it's okay for them to access it for themselves!

You haven't been out art school that long and have already amassed an impressive list of clients. What is one of the most memorable projects you've worked on so far, and what about it made it so great?

Yes! Super thankful for everything that has come my way but most recently, I worked on my largest piece and mural to date for Google's Artist in Residency program. This piece was created as an ode to the future generations of creators and to my ancestors for transmuting their pain into a dream of what the future could be!

What’s one topic you’re passionate about in regards to illustration and/or the illustration community at large?

I'm very passionate about sharing the intersections of Black and queer identity and while I was in art school, it sometimes felt as if most Black and Brown illustrators were often left out of the conversation. I then made it my mission to research them heavily and bring them up more in conversation during. Sharing underrepresented narratives is very important to me because, it creates a safer space if others can visualize themselves there and can create more possibilities of what they could be!

Who is/are one (or two!) illustrator(s) that you discovered during your research that you think more people should know about?

What came to mind was Clementine Hunter, Jackie Ormes, and Remedios Varo.

Have you been to ICON before?

Yes! My first year attending was actually back in 2018.

What can we expect when we see you at ICON11?

Definitely a friendly face and hopefully some inspiration! So excited to meet you all!

[theillustrationconference]

We spoke to Angie Wang for our second installment of #ICONspeak, a series highlighting some of the speakers you’ll see at #ICON11.

Angie is an illustrator and cartoonist living in Los Angeles. Her experimental style has captivated a slew of editorial clients that include The New Yorker, Vox, Google, BuzzFeed, and NPR. In addition to illustrating, she is a co-founder of the annual comics festival Comic Arts Los Angeles.

For those that are unfamiliar with your work, how would you describe your style? How have you honed your visual language throughout your career?

I think of myself as a grab bag—I never know what style is going to come out, or if it’s going to look good or work. This might sound bizarre, but it’s the way I function, it’s the way I stay excited and engaged and fresh. That’s the only pattern across all of my work, that very little of it looks exactly alike. Three years into my illustration career, I decided to destroy my existing (colorful, linework-oriented, delicate) style and draw in a completely different way (messy, textured, watercolor) instead, and I did, until I got tired of that too. These days, I don’t settle on anything. My dream is to approach every image in a completely new way, though it doesn't always work out like that due to time pressure.

I will say I tend to be more naturalistic than abstract, more controlled than loose, and more clean than gritty. Those are long-term inclinations that I haven’t been able to shake yet.

You've won a James Beard Award for your work. What was the project that won you that honor?

I won a James Beard Award, and my friends all thought it was for cooking at first! But it was for an article I pitched to Eater called "In Search of Water-Boiled Fish" about my quest to find specific Chinese food in the United States that constituted important parts of my memories in China, water-boiled fish in particular. I loved seeing the response from people all over the world who had important food-memories of dishes they were desperate to eat again but couldn't find anywhere. The award was a very pleasant surprise and a big honor.

How did you get into animation? How much of your work is animated versus static these days, and how do your approaches to the two ways of working vary?

I worked for almost seven years on Steven Universe, and folks on the crew—Danny Hynes and Rebecca Sugar in particular—taught me basic animation for fun, one lesson at a time: antics and overshoots, timing, smears, waves and arcs, etc. They were able to see all the tiny details that make a good animation (which is very different from what makes a good illustration): when motion feels dead because the timing was too even, or how redrawing a pose almost exactly the same before it settles makes the movement feel like butter. Suddenly there were all these new rules I had to learn, and every time I applied one of their lessons, I could see the difference. I didn’t have any interest in animation before, but learning from them made it feel accessible—less like a complete skill other people had that I didn’t understand and more like a skill I could internalize in little steps.

That’s how I got interested in it. I wouldn’t call myself anything more than a beginner, a total amateur, and all of my animations are experiments, me applying one lesson after another or trying out another method of rendering motion. These days, most of my professional work is still traditional illustration, but most of my personal work right now is about exploring animation.

The other part is that I fell in love with dance several years ago, and it's created an impulse for movement that wants to be expressed either through bodily action or through creating motion on a screen. It's inadequate to capture an arabesque as a still image at its peak. Dance is about every part--the entry, the arc, the exit, the transition—so a single image doesn't do it justice.

What’s one topic you’re passionate about in regards to illustration and/or the illustration community at large?

Unionizing! I joined the Freelance Solidarity Project last year. They’re still a very young union but cooking up some big projects, so the input and involvement of illustrators would be invaluable to their efforts. Now is absolutely the time to join if you want to have a voice in how the whole union is structured and in terms of setting priorities—it's very exciting.

I'm excited about unionizing because minimum rates for editorial illustration have stagnated across our industry for more than a decade. Especially with new media, a lot of illustrators are now doing the equivalent of full-page print art for $300 for web. There are issues with nonpayment, like with Nautilus. There's exploitation, like with spec work—even a major tech company asked me to do spec work recently. Between all of us here at ICON, we know everyone in the industry, and we'd have the ability to organize and set expectations and negotiate with major companies for better pay and conditions.

Have you been to ICON before?

I have never been to ICON before! This will be my first time.

What can we expect when we see you at ICON11?

I hope I can give a good talk about changing everything up mid-career that will help illustrators find some of that spark again.
