The Lott searching for mystery winner of $50m jackpot

One person won the entire $50 million Powerball draw on Thursday night, but they don’t know it yet.

A NSW Mid Coast resident enters the festive season with tens of millions to spend after being the only winner of the life-changing jackpot.

Lott’s spokesman Matt Hart said repeated calls for the new multi-millionaire went unanswered.

“I was ready to confirm the new Powerball Division 1 winner just after the results of tonight’s draw came out, but unfortunately every time I called the number provided it just rang “, did he declare.

“If you see a number of missed calls on your phone, you might be the winner we’re trying to reach.”

The Lott urges all Powerball players to check their entries as soon as possible.

The unconscious achievement is the 19th Division win in 2022, with winners taking home over $664 million.

NSW was the luckiest state with 11 winners, while four came from Victoria.

Two winners reside in Western Australia and there has been one achievement each in South Australia and Queensland in 2022 so far.

The multimillion-dollar winner mystery comes just a month after a Sydney man neglected to check his ticket on the night of the draw in October.

He had won over $53.3 million in the record jackpot of $160 million, but was unaware that The Lott had tried to reach him.

“It means so much to me,” Penrith’s father said at the time.

“I will finally be able to buy a house for my family, my children can have everything they want for Christmas, and we are safe and ready for life.”
