One Australian is counting their lucky stars after winning a life-changing amount of $20 million in Thursday\u2019s Powerball draw.<\/p>\n
The division one prize was taken entirely by one Lotto player, who isn\u2019t from WA.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 27, 6, 35, 17, 11, 15 and 26, with the Powerball being 11.<\/p>\n
There were 20 division two winners, who each took home $25,539.65, and again included no West Aussies.<\/p>\n
However, of the 62 division three winners, nine were from WA, and all pocketed a decent $10,189.85 each.<\/p>\n
Thursday night\u2019s draw comes after a lucky Perth man on Monday cashed in big for the second time after winning a Millionaire Medley prize and pocketed a cool $1 million.<\/p>\n
The 79-year-old man from Ellenbrook bought his ticket at Kingsway City Lottery Centre, with his numbers matching those to a division one prize in last Wednesday\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n
Remarkably, it is not the retiree\u2019s first visit to the Lotterywest winners room, nor his first $1m Lotto win on a Wednesday, having previously claimed a $1m division one prize from a Wednesday draw in 2023.<\/p>\n
The two-time Lotto winner said the experience felt familiar but no less exciting, with the family-man eager to share his news with his children.<\/p>\n
Another fortunate West Aussie became an instant winner at the weekend, with a ticket sold at Florida Beach Newsagency in Dawesville winning a division one Super66 prize worth almost $150,000.<\/p>\n
Lotto players can next try their luck in the Superdraw on September 5 having the chance to win a share in a $20 million division one prize pool in the super-sized Saturday Lotto event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Australian is counting their lucky stars after winning a life-changing amount of $20 million in Thursday\u2019s Powerball…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,21,227,13284],"class_list":["post-71500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-lifestyle","tag-lotto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
