Powerball: Unregistered Ticket Claims $100 Million Jackpot

Exciting News for Powerball Enthusiasts

A Queensland Powerball player has 100 million reasons to check their ticket to see if they are one of the biggest lottery winners in Australian history. The Lott is waiting to hear from the mystery entrant who bought an unregistered winning ticket for Thursday night's jackpot at an outlet on Brisbane's north side.

Efforts to Identify the Winner

The Lott is urging all Brisbane residents and visitors to check their tickets and make contact to claim their $100 million prize. "Someone has become an overnight multimillionaire but possibly doesn't know it yet. We can't wait for them to discover this winning news," spokeswoman Anna Hobdell said.

Who Will Claim the Prize?

  • The winner of division one of draw 1475 has become the equal third-biggest lottery winner in Australian history.
  • The winning numbers were 16, 24, 11, 4, 10, 18, and 23, with the Powerball number being 6.
  • There were also 3,389,212 wins across divisions two to nine who collectively took home $67,789,677.20.
  • Included in this total are 10 division two winners who each scored $188,606.60.

Anticipation for Future Draws

The Lott expected up to half of the Australian adult population to enter the draw for Powerball's biggest win of 2024. This winner is only the sixth in Australia to know what it's like to win a lottery prize of $100 million or more.

Odds of Winning

The odds of getting all seven numbers and the Powerball correct is one in 134,490,400, according to Gambler's Help and The Lott.
