Powerball Winner Says The First Thing He's Going To Do Is Spend An Afternoon At Felons

In an exclusive interview with The Advocate, Ant Humphreys has told all on his recent Division 1 Powerball win.

The winning entry, purchased from a newsagency in West End, scored Ant $5 million during last Thursday’s draw.

“I honestly thought I was being scammed at first,” the 25 year old Woolloongabba resident said of the phone call delivering the news. 

“Once I got off the phone, though, I knew exactly what the first thing I’d be doing was.”

His friends say Ant sent a message reading “who’d be down to pre at Felons?” into the group chat before even revealing the win. 

“The message was pretty sus considering his usual idea of pres is a few tinnies on the deck,” said Dave, a longtime friend of Ants. 

“But I’d seen the news and knew the Powerball had gone off, so I kind of just put two and two together, you know. Mystery solved,”

“Anyway, I said ‘only if you're paying, mate’, and after he didn't get cut at me, then I really had no doubts,”

Dave says his last trip to Felon’s saw him spend $100 on two beers and espresso martini, and a further $16 on a serve of hot chips comparable to a McDonalds small. 

“And don't even get me started on the fucking Sunday 10% surcharge, that’s surely not normal. Maybe for Sydney fucks but not in Brissy. No way,” said Dave. 

“Anyway, looks like we’ll be living Wolf of Wall Street style for a bit thanks to Anty’s win, yahoooooo!”

More to come.
