In an incredible stroke of luck, two winning tickets have emerged to share the monumental $200 million Powerball jackpot.
One ticket belongs to a couple from Singleton, NSW, while the other was purchased by an anonymous individual in Queensland.
The mystery Queensland winner has yet to be located as their ticket was unregistered at the time of drawing.
Queenslanders who recently participated in the Powerball draw are urged to check their tickets. With a winner yet to step forward and claim their share of the $200 million jackpot, you could be unknowingly sitting on a fortune.
The winning Singleton couple revealed their plans for their $100 million prize. One is looking to quit their jobs, while the other is considering continuing their beloved career despite now being a multimillionaire.
The winner’s reactions were filled with laughter and disbelief as officials at The Lott contacted the winners about their life-changing fortune.
“It’s an unimaginable amount of money. I can hardly believe it,” one of them exclaimed.
“Just moments ago, I glanced at the numbers and instantly reacted with ‘oh my god.’
“We often joke about winning, but never actually expect it could happen to us.
“Well, there’s no doubt that I won’t be working anymore. Do I really need to?”
The lucky winners are already dreaming of an overseas vacation and intend to celebrate this weekend.
“The possibilities are endless,” said one winner enthusiastically. “This windfall will greatly benefit our children.”
In case you missed the live draw, the winning numbers for draw 1446 on February 1 were 12, 33, 23, 35, 1, 26, and 32, with a Powerball number of 10.
