Sixteen fortunate shoppers from Caboolture are celebrating a life-changing moment after their syndicate’s $5-million victory.
On the 15th of February 2024, 16 lucky shoppers at The Local Caboolture South bagged the Division One prize amounting to almost $5 million or $4,907,068.89.
Their luck held as their PowerHit entry also brought several divisional prizes that reached $5,164,871.49, making each ticket holder’s bank account richer by $322,804.47 each.
Sandeep Arora, the owner of the The Local Caboolture South where the winning entries were bought, also expressed her happiness over the windfall.
“It will definitely change each person’s life in different ways […] I just want to wish them all the best for the future and I hope they enjoy celebrating this winning news,” Mr Arora said.
The Powerball number was 20 and the winning numbers were 35, 34, 19, 10, 18, 15 and 5.
James Eddy, spokesman for The Lott, said that they will reach out to the registered winners, to deliver the news about their wins.
“Some of these division one winning syndicate members have already begun celebrating their good fortune knowing their bank account is about to be boosted with more than $300,000,” he said.
“While we’ll be reaching out to those winners who are registered, there are still some unregistered syndicate members who may have yet to discover their good news,” he added, calling on those who purchased a share in a syndicate for the draw to check their tickets to see if they won.
“If you purchased a share in a syndicate for the week’s Powerball draw, today’s the day to check it! If you discover you’re holding a winning share, call The Lott on 131 868 to start the prize claim process,” he said.
