A Leichhardt, Ipswich resident is celebrating a life-changing win after scoring a massive $20 million in Thursday night's Powerball draw (draw 1506, 27 March 2025). The ecstatic winner, whose identity remains undisclosed, was left speechless when The Lott contacted her with the incredible news.
A Dream Come True
"Oh my god! Oh my god! You’re joking?!" she exclaimed. The sheer shock and disbelief were palpable in her voice as she recounted the moment. "I don't play every week, but when I do, I usually check in the morning. I sometimes win small amounts, but $20 million? I can't believe it!"
Already brimming with excitement, she has concrete plans for her newfound wealth. "I’ll be seeking financial advice right away," she shared, "I can pay off my children’s mortgages, and I might finally take a holiday! I haven't had one in years. And my passport? It's probably expired; I'll need to get that renewed!"
The Winning Ticket
Her winning 18-game QuickPick ticket was purchased online through The Lott website. The winning numbers were 11, 7, 21, 17, 9, 13, and 24, with the Powerball number being 11. This was the only division one winning entry nationally.
