Three Tickets Share $100 million Australian Powerball Win

The December 29  $100 million Australian Powerball draw produced three jackpot winners. Two of the winning tickets were sold in New South Wales and the other in Queensland.

Incredible 

One of the New South Wales winners was a father from Burwood. He received a phone call from The Lott informing him of his $33.33 million win. The air turned rather blue at first before the Australian Powerball winner said: “This is incredible.”

He’s by no means a regular player of the Australian Powerball draw and said he only “rarely” buys a ticket. However, his wife saw that the jackpot was a fantastic $100 million and she suggested buying a ticket. That proved to be a brilliant idea.

Extra ticket purchased

The other New South Wales winner was a father from Canterbury in New South Wales. He’d checked the results the morning after the draw and couldn’t believe how much his ticket had won. Almost unable to move, he quickly texted his wife to tell her their great news,

It’s a win that nearly didn’t happen. He’d planned on buying just one ticket for the draw but then decided to buy another and that’s the one that won a share of the jackpot. The couple now plan on going on a holiday. Then they’ll “wind down” their working lives and help their children.

What a Christmas present

The biggest winner was a mother from Durack in Queensland. She’d bought her ticket as a Christmas present for herself. It proved to be a fantastic purchase as she also had 19 other wins taking her overall winning total to $34.234 million.

Just before taking the call she’d seen the winning numbers on The Lott app and realised her ticket had won a share of the jackpot. “I just jumped to the roof and screamed! The kids thought a cockroach was in the kitchen.”

Her win will allow her family to “move forward with a better life.” There are no plans to quit her job as she loves her work.
