With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s no surprise many of us are dreaming of the ultimate Christmas getaway. And with Powerball offering an incredible $50 million in this Thursday’s draw (1488), just imagine how magical your holiday could be if you held a winning ticket!

Ahead of this exciting jackpot, we our division one lottery winners to get some intrepid inspiration and discover which destination they said they’d escape to with their major lottery prize.

Unsurprisingly, 19% of winners said they’d book their dream holiday straight away. Some planned to stay closer to home, with top choices including five-star dining in Sydney, scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road, and cruising down the coastline to Palm Cove. While others eyed international destinations, with sun-soaked Bali, Hawaii, and Disneyland topping the list.

Thursday’s draw is only the third time this year that a $50 million Powerball jackpot has been up for grabs. On both prior occasions, no player had all seven winning numbers plus the all-important Powerball number needed to win division one and the jackpot climbed higher.

Only time will tell if we see the same happen this Thursday night.

Could you be the lucky winner who adds some extra sparkle to your holidays? Your most magical Christmas ever could be just one ticket away!

Make sure to grab your entries in store, online, or via The Lott app before the draw closes at 7:30pm AEST on Thursday 21 November. Good luck!
