Nat Barr reveals secret lotto win ahead of Powerball jackpot

Sunrise host Natalie Barr has revealed her secret lotto win ahead of the $100 million mega jackpot draw on Thursday. 

Over half of Aussie adults are expected to buy a ticket for a chance to take home the fifth biggest lotto jackpot - and Natt Barr and co-host Matt Shirvington did not want to miss out. 

While purchasing tickets for the draw live on-air, her co-host revealed the unbelievable win. 

“Nat has the auto-pick where it just repeats,” he said.

“And she’s credited because she won like 900 bucks last time — wasn’t the 100 million.”

Barr excitedly confirmed the win: “$930! A few weeks ago!” she said. 

The revelation comes just as news agencies across the country are expected to experience a ticket rush, as millions of Australians fight for their chance to win the life-changing jackpot. 

Many are expected to buy the tickets "last-minute" as the entries for the draw will close on Thursday  at 7.30pm AEST. 

The last time someone won a major jackpot was a lucky father from Bankstown who took home $100 million dollars in June.
