Aussie Man Takes Home Entire $30 Million Powerball Jackpot

An Australian man has become an instant multimillionaire after claiming the full $30 million Powerball jackpot, making him the sole winner in Thursday night’s draw.

The lucky winner, hailing from Cessnock in New South Wales, couldn’t contain his excitement when The Lott delivered the life-changing news. His immediate reaction was a stunned "holy s--t" followed by uncontrollable laughter.

"I don’t think I’ll get any sleep tonight now," he confessed.

The man revealed that his winning ticket had been sitting on the fridge, mixed in with household bills. “I looked at it this afternoon and thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be lovely to win?’" he said. Now, with the prize in hand, he’s no longer worried about bills. "There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don’t care if I get a bill now!"

Having faced recent challenges, the man sees the win as a sign of brighter days ahead for him and his loved ones. "For a start, I’ll look at buying a new house and looking after the family. Then, I’ll take it from there,” he shared.

The first thing on his to-do list? Breaking the good news to his children. "I’m going to ring my kids right now and tell them the news!"

This incredible win marks a new chapter for the fortunate winner, whose life has been forever changed in an instant.
