A lucky mother from Western Sydney received the surprise of a lifetime when she found out she had won a whopping $22 million in last night's Powerball draw. The news left her in shock and she couldn't contain her excitement when she realized she had won the entire division one prize pool. The woman, who lives in St Claire near Mount Druitt, said she screamed with joy upon receiving the call from The Lott officials while she was at work.
"I was just checking my app and then I saw the amount - it was insane! I couldn't believe it!" she exclaimed. "I was shaking uncontrollably and I couldn't even find the words to express how I was feeling. This is a game changer for me. I can finally buy a house!"
The mother, who is in her 30s, couldn't keep the news to herself and immediately shared it with her colleagues. "I was at work when I found out and I couldn't help but scream, 'I won $20 million!' to everyone around me," she laughed. "This win means so much to me. My top priority is to buy a house and help my family, but I also want to do some traveling as well."
The winning numbers in Thursday's Powerball draw were 2, 12, 4, 9, 10, 24, and 7, with the all-important Powerball number being 15. The prize pool had originally been set at $20 million, but it was increased to $22 million due to a large number of entries purchased before the draw. The winning ticket was a QuickPick purchased on the Lott app and the mother was the only division one winner in the entire country.
As for the future, the mother is already making plans for how she will use her newfound fortune. "I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life," she gushed. "This win has opened up so many opportunities for me and I am beyond grateful. I also want to make sure I am responsible with my winnings and seek help and information about gambling if I ever need it."
Luckily, there are many resources available for individuals who may need assistance with gambling. The National Gambling Helpline can be reached at 1800 858 858 and offers support and information for those who may be struggling. With this win, the mother from Western Sydney can now look forward to a bright and exciting future ahead.
