There was a whopping $80 million up for grabs in Thursday night’s Powerball draw but the search for the winner goes on.
This week’s $80 million Powerball draw is only the eighth time in the game’s 25-year history that a jackpot of this size was up for grabs.
The winning numbers were 17 - 10 - 4 - 26 - 19 - 23 - 21 and the Powerball was number 7.
However, lottery officials say they have been unable to contact the winning person because of incomplete contact information.
The Lott spokesperson Lauren Cooney said it’s possible someone in Victoria is going to sleep completely unaware they won tonight’s entire $80 million Powerball jackpot and suddenly became the state’s biggest lottery winner and Australia’s third-biggest lottery winner.
“Imagine going to bed tonight not knowing you’ve just won $80 million? That’s the reality for one Victorian player after scoring division one in tonight’s Powerball draw!” she said. “While the Victoria entry was purchased online, unfortunately, we don’t have their complete contact details, so we are unable to make a mind-blowing phone call to them this evening.
“That is why we are encouraging everyone in Victoria to check their entries because they may be the multi-millionaire we are searching for!
“While we are unable to confirm the win with tonight’s winner, we can guarantee that when they discover the news, it’s sure to be met with a hefty mix of shock and excitement,” she said. “In addition to seeing the massive $80 million prize land in their bank account, this player also shares the title of Victoria’s biggest individual lottery winner and Australia’s third-biggest lottery winner.”
