Check your lotto tickets... one lucky Australian is the unwitting winner of $50 million! 9News
The mystery ticket holder was the only division one winner, but their entry was unregistered so officials have had no way of contacting them."There's a very real possibility that this person will wake up and go about their day as normal tomorrow, with no idea they've taken home the biggest Oz Lotto prize of the year," Lauren Cooney, a spokesperson for The Lott, said.
"We were on standby ready to reach out to any division one winners after tonight's draw, but unfortunately we haven't been to break this incredible news to our elusive winner. Instead, we're calling on anyone in New South Wales who had an entry into tonight's draw to check their tickets." Tonight's jackpot winner is the tenth Oz Lotto division one winner of the year. The 10 winners have collectively taken home $127,143,666 in division-one prize money.
A total of 925,102 prizes worth more than $18.6 million were also won in divisions two to seven tonight, including 16 division two winners who each receive almost $33,000.
