A millennial couple who scored WA’s biggest lottery prize in three years has revealed their plans for the huge jackpot.
UPDATE: Just a week after a couple from Mandurah claimed a historic $50 million Powerball prize, another lucky Australian has hit the jackpot, winning $5,251,280.07 in the latest draw. This exciting development follows five weeks of no winners matching all seven numbers and the Powerball, making it a thrilling back-to-back win for players.
In the most recent draw on Thursday, the winning numbers were 19, 11, 12, 4, 29, 13, 27 with the Powerball being 20. Despite the significant win, none from Western Australia claimed a division two prize of $105,774.20, which went to three players from other regions in Australia. However, eight players from WA did secure a division three prize, each taking home $7,695.65.
The latest winner is celebrating an unexpected windfall, though it is not a rolling jackpot. This victory comes just days after the previous week’s winners expressed their joy about the life-changing amount they won, which is reported to be the highest prize in the state for 2025. The Mandurah couple shared their dreams of spending more time with family, with aspirations for a slower-paced life.
“I’ve always dreamed of being a stay-at-home dad and I can’t wait to make that a reality,”
the winner stated. The couple plans to improve their home rather than purchasing a new one, saying,
“We love where we live so we don’t want to move, but we’ll probably get some new gutters and install ceiling fans around the house as well.”
As excitement continues to build around the Powerball, players nationwide are eagerly anticipating the next draw. With two significant wins in just a week, the stakes have never been higher. Players are encouraged to check their tickets and stay tuned for updates as more winners are expected to emerge in upcoming draws.
This latest development highlights the thrill and unpredictability of the Powerball lottery, keeping players engaged and hopeful. The community in Mandurah is buzzing with excitement, and many are sharing their dreams of what they would do with such a life-altering sum. As the Powerball continues to draw attention, the urgency to participate is palpable.
