A Leichhardt woman is ready to pay off her children’s mortgages and renew her long-forgotten passport after scoring a life-changing $20 million in last night’s Powerball draw.
 
The Ipswich resident held the only division one winning entry nationally in Powerball draw 1506, drawn Thursday 27 March 2025. She can look forward to a glorious $20 million.
 
When we called the unsuspecting winner this morning to confirm the multi-million-dollar news, she was left speechless.
 
“Oh my god! Oh my god! You’re joking?!” she gasped.

“How does this happen? Oh, my goodness. I don’t know what to say.

“I’m shaking. Thank you so much.
 
“I don’t play every week, but when I do, I usually check in the morning. I sometimes win small amounts like $11 here and there, but I can’t believe I’ve just won $20 million!”
 
Despite the whirlwind of emotions, the gleeful winner already had a plan for her newfound fortune.
 
“I’ll be seeking financial advice right away!” she said.
 
“I can pay off my children’s mortgages, and I might finally take a holiday! I haven’t had one in years.
 
“My passport must be expired. I’ll have to get it renewed!”
 
Her winning 18-game QuickPick entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
