Sunrise's Edwina Bartholomew Reveals Show's Powerball Syndicate Win
Sunrise's Edwina Bartholomew injected humor into the morning show as she disclosed the Powerball syndicate's modest win of $48 for the week.
The upbeat host, despite the less-than-impressive prize, found a positive note, remarking, "That's enough to reinvest." Laughter ensued as Edwina admitted to forgetting her syndicate contribution, with co-host Matt Doran sharing a similar mishap. However, quick-witted Nat Barr generously covered Matt's share, jokingly stating she "would not have let [him] have [his] share" otherwise.
This revelation comes amid escalating anticipation across Australia for the upcoming Powerball draw, with the jackpot reaching a staggering $150 million.
The heightened interest follows a $100 million draw that produced no Division One winners. Lottery officials anticipate a surge in ticket sales, emphasizing that the idea of winning a portion of the $150 million jackpot is captivating Australians' imaginations. With the excitement building, Sunrise's lighthearted disclosure adds a touch of amusement to the nationwide enthusiasm, creating an entertaining backdrop for the colossal Powerball draw.
