Anticipation was at an all-time high last night as we waited to find out who landed the $80 million Powerball jackpot prize. Excitedly, it was an online player from Melbourne who scooped up division one!

Powering on with a Powerball prize

An Altona man now shares the title as Victoria’s biggest lottery winner, having landed division one in last night’s $80 million Powerball draw. 

“I can’t believe it! Oh my god! I can’t stop crying!” he said tearfully. 

“I haven’t been to Italy since I’ve been 10 years old, and I have wanted to go back ever since.

“I’ve never won anything in my life, let alone $80 million!

“You have changed my life.”

Better count that again

Meanwhile, a Drysdale man only discovered he’d won $2 million on his TattsLotto ticket after we reached out, which jokingly proved his son-in-law wrong about his division one worthy numbers. 

“Oh god! I thought it was $2,000, not $2 million!” he exaggerated when we confirmed the good news.

“I looked at the winning numbers in the paper and I thought to myself, ‘I’ve got most of those’. I got my ticket out and went through it. 

“I’ve been playing TattsLotto for five years. It all kind of started when my daughter and son-in-law started owning a newsagency.

“It’s funny because my son-in-law would always tell me that my marked numbers weren’t good and that I should change them. He was wrong!”

Floating on cloud nine

Whether “kissed by a genie” or on a winning streak, a Davoren Park man was thrilled to learn he scored the $3.1 million Keno Spot 10 jackpot.

“I was so excited yesterday that I ran out of the pub before I saw how much I’d actually won. I knew the prize amount started with a ‘three’ and that was enough to shoot me to cloud nine,” he recapped for us. 

“I’ve been experiencing a streak of good luck recently, and things just keep getting better.

“It’s like a genie kissed me at some point in time.

“I immediately rang my parents last night and told them I’d buy them a house.

“I’ll be able to chuck my brother and sister $150,000 each. It’s incredible!”

Reeling in a Weekday Windfall win

Finally, a Gladstone dad cruised into the weekend early after his Weekday Windfall entry snagged a weighty $1 million.

“I’ve hooked up the boat after heading out for a celebratory fish this morning. It’s still hard to believe this has happened to me!” he cheered.

“I checked the ticket last night before bed, but I didn’t want to get too excited before speaking to someone. 

“It's funny timing. I had already scheduled an appointment with a financial planner for next month to discuss my plans, but this win will help me achieve them even sooner!

“I already have an amazing life with my kids, and this will just help elevate our future.”
