Just one week after a Mandurah couple made headlines with their historic $50 million Powerball win, another Australian lottery player has secured a multi-million dollar prize, proving that the nation's luck is far from over.
Back-to-Back Jackpot Success
Following five consecutive weeks without a division one winner, the Powerball draw has now produced two major winners in a row. The latest victory saw a single Australian ticket-holder take home a massive $5,251,280.07 in the November 20 draw. While this wasn't the rolling jackpot, the winner is certainly not complaining about their multi-million dollar fortune.
The winning numbers for draw #1540 were 19, 11, 12, 4, 29, 13, 27 with the Powerball number 20.
Western Australia's Mixed Lottery Results
While Western Australia didn't produce the division two winner - with that $105,774.20 prize going to three players from other states - the state still had reason to celebrate. Eight WA players scored division three wins, each receiving $7,695.65 for their efforts.
This latest win comes just seven days after that life-changing $50 million Powerball claim from the Mandurah couple, which marked the highest lottery win in Western Australia for 2025.
Following in Million-Dollar Footsteps
The previous winners, a millennial couple from Mandurah, had purchased their golden ticket for just $28.20 and found themselves in what they described as "total shock" upon discovering their windfall.
The father revealed heartfelt plans for his newfound wealth, stating: "I've always dreamed of being a stay-at-home dad and I can't wait to make that a reality. Life with a toddler is very busy, so to be able to slow down and spend more quality time together will be very special."
Rather than uprooting their lives, the couple plans to stay in their beloved Mandurah community, with some practical home improvements on the horizon. "We love where we live so we don't want to move, but we'll probably get some new gutters and install ceiling fans around the house as well," the winner shared.
As lottery excitement continues across Australia, these back-to-back multi-million dollar wins demonstrate that fortune can strike at any time, transforming ordinary Australians into instant millionaires.
