The ticket was bought from Tanilba’s newsagency and it is the first time they have sold such a big prize winning ticket.

Newsagent Julie Fitzgerald told News Of The Area, “Recently, a local claimed a second division Powerball prize of $100,000 and over the years, six people have won $100,000 each in the $2 Jackpot lottery. This win was, however, the greatest by far.”

“It was good to see the $1 million won by a long-time player who is a local and a deserving person,” she said.

The winner wanted their identity kept undisclosed.
