One Aussie is an instant multi-millionaire after throwing caution to the wind in Thursday’s Powerball draw.

The fortunate ticketholder will pocket an eye-watering $30 million after securing the division one win.

Division two produced five winners who will each be celebrating a windfall to the tune of $106,535.05.

An additional 55 Aussies will take home hauls worth more than $12,000 as a result of division three wins.

The winning numbers for draw #1512 are 33, 32, 35, 14, 15, 7 and 34. The all-important Powerball is 12.

Powerball luck comes after an Aussie scooped the entire $70m division one jackpot in Oz Lotto’s April 15 draw.

The ticket — purchased in the eastern states — was the only ticket to match all numbers required for the eye-watering division one prize.
