Dive into all the winning moments below:

Leichardt woman becomes a Powerball multi-millionaire

A Leichhardt woman is ready to pay off her children’s mortgages and renew her long-forgotten passport after she held the only division one winning ticket nationally in last night's Powerball draw. With a life-changing $20 million headed her way, the unsuspecting winner was left speechless when we called to confirm the multi-million-dollar news. 
 
“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!”

Young Melburnian man wakes up a millionaire

One of our latest Weekday Windfall winners was a 19-year-old man from Melbourne who experienced a life-changing moment, as he watched his numbers match up to the draw results. With a $1 million prize set to boost his future, the young man shared he’d look to pay off his university degree, clear his car repayments, and help out his parents.

“I saw that my ticket had all the winning numbers around 9pm last night. My dad was asleep, but I woke him up because I needed his opinion on whether I had won,” the winning man shared.

“There was a lot of back and forth, so we waited until the results came up.

“We started to get really excited when we realised, I did in fact win division one!

“I’m going to get my uni degree all paid up. I won’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Best apology gift ever!

Another winning highlight came in the most unexpected way when a Glass House Mountains woman received an Instant Scratch-Its ticket as an apology gift from her partner. Little did she know, scratching that ticket would turn into a life-enhancing surprise – a $25,000 win.

“It’s very exciting news!” she cheered.

“My partner actually gifted me the ticket, as an apology to say sorry for something.

“Turned out to be a very good apology!

“I think we’ll use the prize to book a holiday. There’re a few places I’ve been dreaming of going.”

We think it’s safe to say, it seems as though all has been forgiven…

Single mum unlocks door to homeownership

Meanwhile, a single mum from Springfield Lakes has homeownership on the horizon, after landing a $833,000 win in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw. When we called to confirm the marvelous news, the grateful mum shared that the prize would allow her to buy a house of her own and fast-track her retirement plans.

“It honestly hasn’t hit me yet. I checked the ticket before bed on Saturday night and I thought I’d won $8,300 at first. I thought, ‘Oh that’s cool! I’ll take it!’. But then I had another look,” she shared.

“This will help me buy a house outright. I’m also a couple years off retirement. It will just be a huge help.

“I’m feeling very grateful. It still hasn’t sunk in. I don’t know if it ever will!”

This week’s winners have reminded us you never know when a life-changing win will come your way, and flip everything upside down in a moment. We hope to be calling you soon with some amazing news. Good luck everyone!
