SYDNEY (July 24, 2025) - One lucky Queensland resident has struck gold, taking home a staggering $30.6 million in tonight's Powerball draw and instantly becoming Australia's newest mega millionaire.
The winning ticket was sold in the Brisbane area.
The winning numbers for Draw 1523 were: 2, 25, 6, 4, 31, 34, 19, with the Powerball number 20. To secure the Division One prize, players needed to match all seven numbers plus the Powerball - a feat with astronomical odds of 1 in 134,490,400.
The sole Division One winner claimed the entire $30,628,398.22 prize pool, capping off an electrifying night for lottery fans around the country.
The actual take home money will be over $31 million due to the entry also matching lower division panels.
