A mystery Australian became a multi-millionaire overnight by winning the entire $100 million jackpot.
The search is still on for the winner who purchased an unregistered ticket in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
They were the only winning Division One entry in Thursday night’s draw, with the numbers: 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14, 21.
The lucky winner now shares the title of Australia’s third biggest lottery winner ever. The biggest individual winner is an Adelaide man who won $150 million last year.
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart urged those in Sydney who entered the draw to check their tickets and contact to claim their prize.
“There are 100 million reasons why all Sydney players who had an entry [into] this week's draw should check their ticket as soon as possible,” he said.
“If you discover you’re holding the division one winning entry, hold on tight to that ticket and phone 131 868 as soon as possible so that we can start the prize claim process.
Alongside the Division one winner, there were 3,056,254 wins across divisions two and nine in last night’s Powerball. These winners collectively took home more than $60.9 million in prize money. In division two, there were six winners who each scored $282,415.55.
Last year, 21 Powerball division one players across Australia pocketed more than $773 million in prize money.
