Australia’s latest Powerball winner unknowingly missed multiple calls confirming her new millionaire status, with the grandmother from Queensland initially believing she had been scammed. The woman from Sarina, not far from Mackay, won $10 million in Thursday night’s Powerball Draw 1469. She held the only division one entry in the country, taking the entire jackpot for herself. Officials from The Lott had tried to get in contact with her multiple times on Friday morning, but were unsuccessful.
” She also admitted she almost didn’t buy a Powerball ticket as she was in a rush on the way to work. “I’m so glad I did,” the new millionaire said. “This is absolutely life-changing, so wonderful.” The woman said she would use her newfound fortune to help pay off her mortgage and a few lingering bills. A much-needed new car was also now a possibility, she said. “I’d love to buy a Honda or Toyota with a bull bar because we really need one where we live,” she said.
