The win comes just one week after a woman from Apsley scooped up the whopping $100 million Jackpot.
The Queensland mum, who bought the winning ticket at Nextra Chermside Newsagency in Brisbane, told The Lott she almost lost the winning ticket.
“I was shopping the other day, and it’s coming up to my birthday, so I thought ‘Why not?’ and purchased a Powerball ticket.
“The funny thing is too, I almost lost it! I had to pull over on the way home from the shops because I thought I had left it there.
“After that, I put it in my glovebox, and I completely forgot about it until this morning”, she said.
