Man lands $60 million lottery jackpot after ‘dreaming’ of winning numbers
A Queensland dad said he was daydreaming about his lucky numbers when lotto officials called to tell him he had secured a $60 million win.
The Bribie Island local was the sole ticket holder to claim last night’s Powerball jackpot.
He revealed that he had just gone to bed when the unexpected call came through.

“No kidding, I was just dozing off, imagining what it would be like to win the lotto and all the things I could do,” he told The Lott officials.
The father also shared that he had made a pact with a friend to purchase tickets for major jackpots after a dream.
“This sounds crazy, but a few months ago I had a vivid dream that a mate and I entered a lotto draw and our ticket scored $40 million,” he said.
“Since then, whenever the prize has gone above $40 million, we’ve bought a ticket.”
He admitted that he only remembered to purchase the entry because his wife reminded him.
“Luckily, I managed to grab a Powerball ticket while we were out on the deck,” he said.
He played using numbers he had been marking for nearly 15 years.
The lucky winner said he intends to assist loved ones and also honour his late mother by buying her favourite vintage car — a Chevy she once owned but was forced to sell.
The winning numbers in Powerball draw 1499 on Thursday 6 February 2025 were 20, 23, 34, 19, 24, 31, and 10.
The Powerball number was 14.
This marks the second enormous lottery win of the week, following a Sydney woman’s record-breaking $100 million jackpot.
Lottery organisers confirmed that the Elizabeth Hills winner is the largest individual recipient in the game’s history.
