Rockhampton Couple and Melbourne Player Share $100 Million Powerball Jackpot
In an extraordinary turn of events, two lucky Australians are about to have their lives transformed by the $100 million Powerball draw that took place on Thursday, November 28, 2024. The grand prize has been split between a couple from Rockhampton, Queensland, and a mystery winner from Melbourne, each pocketing a hefty $50 million.
For the Rockhampton couple, the news came as a complete shock. They were preparing for an ordinary evening when they received a phone call from The Lott—one that would change their lives forever. Expecting to hear about solar panel sales, the grandmother was stunned when the lottery official informed her that they had just won $50 million. “You’re joking?!” she exclaimed in disbelief. Having played the same numbers for years, the couple was not prepared for such a life-changing surprise, especially since their winning entry was a QuickPick ticket. In a state of shock, the couple began to wrap their heads around the idea of becoming multi-millionaires.

The couple’s joy was heightened by the timing of the win. With the festive season just around the corner, they were excited to share their good fortune with family. "There’s going to be a few more prezzies under the tree this Christmas,” they said. Their winning entry was purchased from the Card & Paper Shop in North Rockhampton, and the shop owner, Janet Dingley, couldn’t have been more thrilled. This win marked her store’s tenth division one win, a remarkable streak that has brought immense joy to the community.
Meanwhile, the second winner, a player from Melbourne’s City of Darebin, has yet to come forward. This lucky individual holds an unregistered ticket, meaning they may not yet realize their incredible good fortune. The Lott officials are anxiously awaiting the moment when this mystery winner checks their ticket and claims their $50 million prize. Until then, the excitement builds for what promises to be an unforgettable reveal.
For the thousands of other players who participated in the draw, there were also plenty of smaller prizes. A total of 3,080,963 prizes were won across divisions two to nine, adding up to more than $62.5 million in additional payouts. Among these, 11 players each won $158,200.15 in division two.
This incredible Powerball draw not only provided life-changing wins for the lucky few but also serves as a reminder of the excitement and possibility that lottery games bring. The winners from Rockhampton and Melbourne have joined a long list of Australians who will be starting the new year with a fortune, ready to make their dreams a reality.
