Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\nOne West Aussie\u2019s life changed forever on Thursday evening upon scoring a staggering $20 million Powerball prize, and it has now been revealed where exactly the golden ticket was sold.<\/p>\n
The WA winning ticket of an eye-watering $20 million was purchased south of Perth at Newsxpress Halls Head.<\/p>\n
The lucky player was one of four Division One winners across the country that shared a gigantic $80 million jackpot.<\/p>\n
After checking the winning numbers on the night of the draw, the owner of the winning ticket reached out to Lotterywest on Friday to confirm their incredible win.<\/p>\n
The WA ticket was a Slikpik 18, purchased just hours before the draw on Thursday afternoon \u2014 right in the middle of a two-hour Lotterywest outage that affected both its website and mobile app.<\/p>\n
During the unexpected disruption, hopeful players were temporarily unable to purchase tickets online or through the app.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re currently experiencing issues with our services and are working to resolve them as soon as possible,\u201d a pop up message on the website read.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night\u2019s $20 million win is fantastic news for this WA player, brightening up a very dreary Perth day,\u201d Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a life-changing moment, and we can\u2019t wait to welcome the winner into Lotterywest\u2019s winners\u2019 room and hear how they plan to enjoy their prize.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adding to the celebration, WA also scored a Division Two win worth more than $29,000, with the lucky ticket sold by Bridgetown Newsagency in the state\u2019s South West.<\/p>\n

WA continued its winning streak in division three, with 20 sandgropers amongst the 150 winners that each won a very handy $10,601.45.<\/p>\n
The life changing numbers from draw #1529 were 9, 22, 23, 3, 13, 28, 32 and the all-important Powerball was 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis win becomes WA\u2019s third Division One Powerball win in 12 months after a trio of friends from Perth\u2019s eastern suburbs won a $30 million Powerball prize in April, and 15 workmates shared a $30 million Powerball prize last October,\u201d Ms Wender said.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s $80 million jackpot was one of the biggest of the year, ranking as the second-highest Powerball prize offered up in 2025, just behind the $100 million draw in June.<\/p>\n
The last time an $80 million jackpot was up for grabs was back in May 2022, making Thursday night\u2019s draw a rare and exciting event for Lotto players across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One West Aussie\u2019s life changed forever on Thursday evening upon scoring a staggering $20 million Powerball prize, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,1625,12067],"class_list":{"0":"post-120395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-lifestyle","12":"tag-lotto"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
