Powerball jackpot: Cessnock’s newest millionaire bursts into uncontrollable laughter after winning lotto

A man from New South Wales has struck gold, winning the entire $30 million jackpot in Thursday night’s Powerball draw, declaring he is “done with bills forever”.

delivered the news shortly after the draw, catching the winner completely off guard.

“Holy sh..t!” he exclaimed, overwhelmed by the moment.

“Bless you, man! Bless you!” he laughed, before erupting into disbelief.

“I just had this ticket on the fridge. I was looking at it this afternoon and thought, ‘wouldn’t it be lovely to win’. The ticket was there with all the bills. There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don’t care if I get a bill now!”

Shaking with excitement, the newly minted multi-millionaire admitted sleep might be off the cards for the night.

“I used to wonder what I’d do if I got a winning phone call, but now all I can do is shake! I better take a breath or two.”

After a self-described “rough trot,” the man said the win was a turning point for him and his family.

“For a start, I’ll look at buying a new house and looking after the family. Then, I’ll take it from there.”

His first move? “I’m going to ring my kids right now and tell them the news!”

The winning numbers in Powerball draw 1512 were 33, 32, 35, 14, 15, 7 and 34.

The Powerball number was 12.
