A Brisbane mother has won the entire $100 million Powerball jackpot in Thursday night’s draw, The Lott has confirmed. The woman, from Aspley, contacted officials on Friday after finally checking her ticket — which had been left in her car overnight. The ticket was unregistered, meaning The Lott officials had no way of knowing who the winner was, or even contacting them to inform them of their win — with a desperate search on for the lucky person since the draw.
“Because the entry wasn’t registered with Lotto officials, they actually weren’t able to break the wonderful news to her any earlier.” Speaking to The Lott, the winner, who remained anonymous, said she had a feeling she would win a major prize. “It’s a funny story. At the start of the year, I had a really strange feeling I was going to win a major lottery prize,” she said. “I told my parents about it, they said, ‘Don’t be crazy’, but I just had this strong feeling.
