Powerball: What really happens when you win $150million? Lotto agent reveals the wildest reactions from winners when she delivered the life-changing news
A Lotto agent has revealed the wildest reactions she has received from winners of the life-changing jackpot ahead of Thursday night's $150m Powerball draw.
Speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Anna said calling up lotto winners and telling them of their good fortune is one of the 'most rewarding' experiences she's had.
But there have been some funny ones too.
'We get the most rewarding reactions,' she told KIIS FM hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson.
'We've had people gone silent, nearly fainting. We've even had someone have to go to the toilet. So, we've really had it all.'

The studio burst into laughter upon hearing the story, with Kyle, 52, delving deeper into the details about the 'nervous poo-er'.
'How much did they win? The one with the nervous poo,' he asked.
Anna responded: 'I think it was 20,000 a month for 20 years. The set for life lotto.'
Winning the lottery isn't just seen as the answer to most Australians' money worries, it's become a metaphor for the best luck imaginable in life.

But for some who hit the jackpot, their millions can become a curse beyond their wildest nightmares.
Research has found 70 per cent of lottery winners end up broke with a third declaring bankruptcy.
The joy of winning and commitment to be careful and help others gives way as the temptation of the endless amount of money becomes too great to resist.
Most winners begin to spend so quickly - on everything from drugs, alcohol and sex to poorly-considered investments - that their millions evaporate.
