'Do they know they've won?': Mystery Sydney Powerball winner yet to claim $100 million prize week after division one victory
Lottery officials have urged players to check their tickets and register as the massive $100 million Powerball prize remains unclaimed a week after the draw. The winning entry in Powerball draw 1517, held on Thursday, June 12, was the only division one winner across the country. The ticket was bought at Sydney's Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Café on Oxford Street, but so far, no contact has been made with The Lott to start the claims process. The anonymous winner now ranks as Australia's third-biggest lottery winner of all time. The Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre said the unregistered ticket means officials are unable to contact the winner directly, leaving the life-changing prize in limbo. 'It's the question many Aussies have been asking during the past seven days: who won last week's $100 million Powerball prize, and do they know they've won?' Ms McIntyre said in a statement. 'By registering your in-store or online lottery entry to The Lott Members Club, not only are we able to contact you straight after the draw if you win big, but your prize is secure. 'Even if you happen to lose or damage your winning ticket, if it is registered to you, we could still unite you with your prize, providing the ultimate peace of mind.' Ms McIntyre stressed the importance of registering lottery tickets to avoid situations like this, encouraging players to sign up either in-store, online or through The Lott app. New South Wales players have six years to claim lottery winnings, but The Lott said it is eager to finalise the prize handover as soon as possible. 'We pay division one prizes two weeks after the draw, so this prize is ready to be put into someone's bank account in a week's time,' McIntyre said. The winning numbers were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21, with the Powerball number 6. Last year saw 21 Powerball division one winners across Australia, sharing in more than $773 million. The largest was a $150 million prize won by an Adelaide man, setting the record for the biggest individual lottery win in Australian history.
