A Prahran mum in her 70s is still pinching herself after discovering she had won a whopping $5 million in last night’s Powerball draw.
The Melburnian held the only division one winning entry nationally in Powerball draw 1541, drawn Thursday 27 November 2025.
Powerball is on a winning streak, delivering back-to-back division one wins following last week’s $5 million jackpot won by a triumphant Brisbane woman in Mount Gravatt.
The winning woman from last night’s draw was driving beside one of her beloved sons when an official from The Lott reached out to confirm her newly-minted multi-millionaire status.
“You’ve just changed my life!” she exclaimed.
“Thank you very much! It feels like I’m still in a dream.
“We’re very excited and very shocked!”
The woman’s son had a few words of his own to add.
“Oh my god. It’s f****** amazing,” he laughed.
“My mum has just told me not to swear – ha.
“She is such a hard-working lady and is still working at her age, but she won’t be anymore!”
When asked how $5 million will change her life, the victorious Victorian shared she had a couple of plans in mind.
“I’m going to give some money to my daughter and son in Australia and my son who lives overseas!” she explained.
“I’ll also buy myself an apartment and enjoy life.
“I can’t let anyone else know about this win. They might want to marry me!
“Thank you!”
Her winning marked 7-game entry was purchased at BP Prahran, 500 Malvern Road, Prahran.
BP Prahran manager Marcus Yousef said he was over the moon to have sold his third division one winning entry.
“This is fantastic news for us! We’ve already sold two division one winning entries before, and now this big win makes it the third for BP Prahran,” he said.
“Our customers are always popping in and saying, ‘Marcus, c’mon, when’s the next big win coming? It’s not much fun when I don’t win division one!’
“Well, now I get to tell them I’ve finally crowned another winner!
“Congratulations to the winning woman and we’re very happy for you. Best of luck with your prize!”
