Imagine winning a life-changing $100 million, but having no idea you’re a millionaire. That’s exactly what’s happening with the latest Powerball winner in Australia.
The Lott is on a mission to find the lucky winner, who has yet to come forward and claim their prize.
A Fortune Waiting to be Claimed
The winning ticket was purchased at the Bondi Junction Newsagency and Internet Cafe in Sydney, but the owner’s details are unknown because it wasn’t registered with The Lott Members Club.
If it had been registered, the winner would have been notified immediately after the draw.
The Lott spokesperson, Matt Hart, is still hopeful that the winner will come forward, saying, “We’re eager to unite the $100 million prize with its rightful owner and help them start enjoying their good fortune.”
The Clock is Ticking
In New South Wales, winners have six years to claim their prize, but The Lott is urging the mystery winner to check their ticket and get in touch as soon as possible.
The winning numbers were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14, and 21, with the Powerball number being 6. If you think you might be the winner, now’s the time to check your ticket and make contact with The Lott.
Theories Emerge: Lost or Damaged Ticket?
Some people are speculating that the winner might have lost or damaged their ticket. It’s not hard to imagine – we’ve all misplaced things at some point.
“I’ve lost a Lotto ticket before, maybe it’s happened to the $100 million winner,” said one person.
Another added, “Imagine if they put it through the washing machine and it’s damaged.” If you have registered your ticket with The Lott Members Club, you can still claim your prize even if you lose or damage your ticket.
