One Ticket Changed Everything
Imagine checking your lottery ticket during the ad break and suddenly discovering you’re $60 million richer.
That’s exactly what happened to one incredibly lucky Aussie woman after she claimed the entire Powerball jackpot on Thursday night. The winning ticket was sold in Queanbeyan, NSW, and instantly turned its owner into one of Australia’s newest multi-millionaires.
A Last-Minute Change Paid Off
The winner revealed she almost picked different numbers altogether.
After using a PowerHit entry, she decided to swap one number at the last second because she thought there were “too many numbers in the 30s.” That tiny change ended up making all the difference.
When officials from The Lott called with the life-changing news, she reportedly screamed in shock while watching the Women’s State of Origin.
Mortgage? Gone.
The NSW woman said that only minutes before the phone call, she still had a mortgage hanging over her head.
Now, she plans to look after her family, enjoy life and possibly cut back her work hours. Safe to say, someone’s weekend plans just got a serious upgrade.
