Four lucky Australians have scored a life-changing fortune after striking gold in Thursday night\u2019s Powerball draw.<\/p>\n
The four division one winners will each pocket a staggering $5,200,007.13 after correctly matching all seven winning numbers and the Powerball.<\/p>\n
It means more than $20.8 million in prize money has been shared between the four winners in a spectacular night for Australian lottery players.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 19, 10, 1, 14, 11, 32 and 16, while the all-important Powerball was 11.<\/p>\n
Another 40 Australians scored a sizeable windfall in division two, correctly matching all seven winning numbers to claim $13,089.15 each.<\/p>\n
But there was no WA winner among the division two haul.<\/p>\n
A further 34 players also celebrated a hefty payday after matching six winning numbers and the Powerball.<\/p>\n
Five of those winners were from WA, with each collecting a handy $19,046.15.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s Powerball draw follows on from a Perth man\u2019s huge Lotto jackpot over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The 63-year-old punter discovered he was WA\u2019s only division one winner just one day before his birthday, landing a staggering $2.1 million jackpot in the Saturday Lotto draw.<\/p>\n
After years of buying weekly Slikpik tickets through Lotterywest Online, the Perth local had no idea he was the city\u2019s newest millionaire until he received a phone call at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four lucky Australians have scored a life-changing fortune after striking gold in Thursday night\u2019s Powerball draw.
