A young Sydney mum has come forward to claim her $22million Powerball prize – and told everyone at work the moment she found out.
She held the only division one winning entry nationally in Powerball draw 1479, drawn Thursday, and pocketed a whopping $22,207,849.80.
Officials from The Lott reached the hardworking mother just moments after she checked her ticket.
‘I can’t believe it. I saw I had a win, and I thought it was just $11, then I scrolled down and realised I won the whole thing.
‘I just got to work, and I couldn’t help but yell out to everyone I won the $20 million.
‘One of the guys said, you’re on the shout now,’ she said.
‘I don’t know how I’ll be able to focus on the rest of the day. Luckily my day isn’t too busy.’
She also shared her heartwarming plans for the money, and said that it would transform her young family’s life forever.
‘This does so much for me. Buying a house and helping my family is my main priority but I’d love to do some travel too.’
The winning numbers were 32, 12, 4, 9, 10, 24 and 7. The Powerball number was 15.
