A group of 15 workmates have become overnight millionaires after one member of the syndicate forgot to buy their Saturday Lotto ticket and purchased a Powerball ticket on a whim.
The group has celebrated the $30 million prize, pocketing $2 million each, after their ticket bought from Malaga Newsagency last week became the State’s first Powerball win of the year.
The ticketholder, who started the group of men and women aged in their 30s to 60s seven years ago, forgot to buy their usual Saturday Lotto ticket and purchased a ticket for Powerball instead.
