A father from Bribie Island, Queensland, received a life-changing phone call announcing that he had won a staggering $60 million in the Powerball lottery. Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he was informed he was the sole ticket holder for the massive prize. The man shared that he had been daydreaming about what it would be like to win and had previously made a pact with a friend to buy tickets for big draws, following a vivid dream he had about winning $40 million months earlier. His wife reminded him to purchase a ticket before the draw, and he used numbers he had played for 15 years.
With his newfound wealth, he plans to support friends and family and honour his late mother by purchasing a vintage Chevy car she once had to sell. The winning numbers from Powerball draw 1499 on February 6, 2025 were 20, 23, 34, 19, 24, 31, and 10, with the Powerball number being 14. Lottery officials noted that he is the largest individual winner in the history of the draw.
