A rare four-way split of Powerball’s $20 million jackpot has delivered multi-million-dollar windfalls to four Australians across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
Each of the four division one winning entries in Powerball draw 1581 on Thursday 3 September 2026 snared a $5,200,007.13 prize.
It’s only the second time during the past decade that a Powerball jackpot has been shared by four winners.
However, while the winners from Murrarie (Qld), Nambucca Heads (NSW) and Berwick (Vic) have already discovered their prizes, a player from Cabramatta (NSW) may have yet to discover their good fortune.
Powerball win knocks Nambucca Heads woman off her feet
A Nambucca Heads woman was floored, quite literally, by the revelation she won more than $5 million in last night’s draw, collapsing to the ground in shock.
“F***king hell! Oh my god. What the hell!” she screamed.
“Oh my god. I think I’m dying. I’ve just fallen to the floor at work.
“What the f***? This is crazy. Is this seriously real?
“These are all my favourite numbers. Oh my god.
“This is an absolute life-changer. I’m a very hard worker but this means I’ll be able to take some time off and work a bit less.
“I’m shaking!”

A Murrarie dad was leashes-in-hand and ready to walk his dogs when a phone call stopped him in his tracks, revealing his jaw-dropping $5.2 million win in last night’s Powerball draw.
“Oh s***!” he exclaimed.
“Wow! I’ve won $5 million? I haven’t looked at it!
“I’m in shock. I was just about to walk out the door to take the dogs to the beach.
“I’m on cloud nine. I used to play the same numbers permanently but I found they never won anything, so recently I decided to change to a random Powerhit.
“My wife is currently working away but I will be giving her a phone call straight after I get off the phone to you.
“My daughter will be here this weekend for Father’s Day as well. Perfect timing!”
While the Queenslander is already retired, the multi-million-dollar windfall will allow his wife to follow suit.
“I’ve just retired but my wife is still working. We’ll have to decide what she’ll do with work!” he shared.
“Thank you very much!”

“We didn’t believe it at first. We thought something was not right.
“My wife and I always buy tickets together.
“That’s amazing! Thank you!”
With a $5.2 million windfall on the way, the Victorian said paying off his newly bought property is now top of the list.
