Powerball Results: Sydney Woman Does the Unthinkable, Wins $22 Million Prize
A young mother from Western Sydney has claimed her $22 million Powerball prize and told everyone at work when she found out.
She was the only Division 1 winner nationally in Powerball drawing 1479, which was drawn on Thursday, winning a whopping $22,207,849.80.
The Lott staff arrived at the hard-working mother’s door just moments after she checked her ticket.
“I can’t believe it. I saw that I won, and I thought it was only $11, then I scrolled down and realized I won the whole thing. I’m only in my 30s. This is going to completely change my life.
But in a move many Australians will regret, the woman told her work colleagues about her victory.
‘I just went to work and I couldn’t help but shout to everyone that I had won $20 million.
“One of the boys said, ‘You’re on the shout now,’” she said.
“I don’t know how I’m going to concentrate for the rest of the day. Luckily my day isn’t too busy.”
She also shared her heartwarming plans for the money, saying it would change her young family’s lives forever.
“This means so much to me. Buying a house and helping my family is my biggest priority, but I would also like to do some traveling.”
The winning numbers were 32, 12, 4, 9, 10, 24, and 7. The Powerball number was 15.
