Australian Powerball Winners Aren’t Who You Think They Are | the Lott

On the back of launching an exciting new game matrix that gives players a chance to win more often and win bigger jackpots, Powerball has unveiled the biggest rebrand in the game’s 20-year history. The question that has everyone talking is ‘what if you had the freedom to play by your own rules?’

“While we hear reports that overseas lotteries winners blow their winnings, Australian Powerball Division One winners know they are on a once-in-a-lifetime journey and are keen to make the most of it by living life on their own terms and playing by their own rules.” stated the Lott’s Powerball spokesperson Bronnie Spencer.
 

“Winning $30 million, $50 million or even $70 million is something that most of us can only imagine, but our ecstatic Powerball division one winners have shown that almost anything is possible,” she said.

“For a young mum from Lewisham in Sydney who became more than $20 million richer in March this year, her Powerball win was the catalyst for her and her husband to work less and spend more time with their children.”
 

“Six Sydney tradies whose private syndicate yielded them a $16.4 million division one prize said they were ready to ‘down tools’ indefinitely so they could enjoy their $2.73 million each.” 

“Likewise with our winner from Gatton, Queensland who won division one in August last year – upon receiving her life-changing
news she vowed to retire immediately.”

Ms Spencer said it wasn’t just quitting their jobs or retiring early that allowed Powerball winners to live their dream lifestyle, it was also a chance for them to follow their passions.

“Whether its travel, a new business venture or a upgrading their home, the dreams of Powerball winners can be as large as the jackpots themselves.

“A train enthusiast from Thornbury, Victoria, was ready to pack his bags and board The Ghan – the first of many luxury holidays he was planning with his Powerball prize.  While a hardworking Nambucca Heads dad bought a farm for his family with his $25 million win.

“While helping their nearest and dearest is a common theme, for one Western Sydney man who won $50 million in May last year, lending a hand to his community was also important.  His long-held passion project was to use his catering expertise to help feed the needy.”

What happens when a player wins Powerball 

From ear-piercing screams to stunned silence, Ms Spencer said she expected the unexpected when delivering the Division One winning news to Powerball winners. 

“Regardless of what our Powerball winners do with their prize, the excitement of knowing they are suddenly free of financial stress is both palpable and exhilarating.

“It’s this freedom that gives them the opportunity to play by their own rules – whatever that means for them!”
