An especially happy Friday for one Powerball payer from Wyndham Vale who’s taken out the entire $50 million dollar jackpot in last night’s draw.
It’s the biggest jackpot of the year so far – three other people taking away $800k each after division two wins.
“I’m in shock,” he said.
“I’m just sitting here watching the footy with my son. When my wife gets home, have I got news for her! I think she won’t believe me, but when I show her the ticket, she’ll get the shakes and start crying.”
Not bad for a four-game Powerball ticket that costs $6.30.
“I only ever play the smallest entry. You don’t need a big entry to win,” he said.
“I normally use our birthday numbers for my tickets, but I had a small win the other day and I thought I’d select some random numbers for tonight’s draw.”
