Overview
- The Victorian couple held one of four division one entries in Powerball draw 1529 on September 4, securing a $20 million share of the $80 million jackpot.
- The winning ticket sat on their fridge for days because it was not registered with The Lott Members Club, preventing a direct notification.
- They realised the win only after checking the numbers and described being in shock at the discovery.
- The QuickPick entry was bought at East Brighton Newsagency on Hampton Street, where the owner celebrated his first division one sale since taking over two years ago.
- The pair say they will help their children and grandchildren and plan to buy a small house, while considering whether to keep working or retire.
