West Aussie Wins Life-Changing $50 Million Powerball Jackpot
Imagine checking your lottery ticket on a Thursday night and realizing your life has just changed forever. That’s exactly what happened to a lucky West Australian when their single Powerball ticket hit the entire $50 million jackpot. This remarkable win has instantly made them one of the wealthiest individuals in the country, and the excitement across WA is palpable.
For many West Aussies who bought tickets for Thursday’s draw, the temptation to double-check their numbers was irresistible, knowing there was a chance someone could walk away with the full prize. As it turns out, one ticket matched all the winning numbers and the Powerball, securing the life-altering sum. The winning numbers in draw #1539 were 22, 10, 6, 15, 2, 8, and 7, with the Powerball being 13.

This $50 million win marks the largest prize claimed by a WA player in over three years. Lorna Pritchard, Lotterywest’s Acting CEO, highlighted that the last time a local player scored this big was back in October 2022, when 18 workmates shared a $53 million Powerball jackpot. It’s also the fourth Powerball win for WA this year, making it a truly historic moment for the state.
Not everyone hit the jackpot, of course. Another West Aussie narrowly missed division one, matching all seven numbers but missing the Powerball. They still walked away with a hefty $160,671.15 from a division two win. Twelve others celebrating this weekend will enjoy $12,820.95 each after claiming division three prizes, giving a glimpse of the excitement spread throughout the community.
This latest win also surpasses the $30 million Powerball prize claimed in April by another WA player, reinforcing the luck that seems to favor locals this year. For the winner, the possibilities now seem endless — from investing and securing their future to perhaps indulging in long-held dreams that previously felt out of reach.
While the identity of the winner remains private for now, the story has already sparked conversations, speculation, and sheer wonder across Perth and beyond. From humble beginnings to instant millionaire status, this Powerball triumph is a reminder of just how dramatically life can change with a single, fortunate ticket.
For West Australians, it’s not just about the money — it’s about celebrating a moment that has captured imaginations and reminded everyone that sometimes, dreams really do come true.
