Cleaner dad who lost his job during Covid pandemic wins £ 43million in third biggest lottery win in Australia

CLEANER dad who lost his job during Covid wins a staggering £ 43million in Australia’s third biggest lottery win.

The struggling Melbourne cleaner had done odd jobs to make ends meet.

“I am so excited. I checked my ticket late last night. I couldn’t sleep after that! The father, who wants to remain anonymous, told The Lott.

“I lost my job during one of the many blockades here in Melbourne. We had just bought a house and didn’t see it coming. “

The Australian had a change over 134 million guessing the correct numbers in Thursday night’s Division 1 Powerball draw.

Despite his newfound fortune, the man remained humble, saying he hoped the money would help improve his family’s lives.

He plans to pay off his mortgage and “prepare our children for life.”

“It will be an amazing thing to be able to do. There is so much we will be able to do with this award. It will change the lives of so many people! “

17 Powerball 1 Division winners pocketed £ 276 million ($ 519 million) in prizes in Australia in the 12 months leading up to June 30, 2021.

Powerball tried to contact the lucky winner on Thursday.

The £ 43million ($ 80million) jackpot is the biggest ever in the state of Victoria and the third in Australia.

A lottery spokesperson said: “Can you imagine going to bed tonight not knowing that you just won $ 80 million?

“That’s the reality for a Victorian player after scoring Division One in tonight’s Powerball draw!” ” she said.

“Although the Victoria Entrance was purchased online, unfortunately we don’t have their full contact details so we can’t make a mind-blowing phone call to them tonight.

“This is why we encourage everyone in Victoria to check their entries because they could be the multimillionaire we are looking for!

“While we are unable to confirm victory with tonight’s winner, we can guarantee that when they find out about the news they will certainly encounter a mixture of shock and excitement,” she said. .

“In addition to seeing the massive $ 80 million prize land in his bank account, this player also shares the title of Victoria’s biggest individual lottery winner and Australia’s third-biggest lottery winner. “

The lucky person managed to get all the correct numbers.

Those numbers were 17, 10, 4, 26, 19, 23, 21 and the Powerball was 7.

It is estimated that one in four Australians bought a ticket for the draw.
