The search for Australia’s $100m Powerball winner has intensified.

Overview

  • The winning Powerball entry drawn June 12 with numbers 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and Powerball 6 was sold at Bondi Junction Newsagency but was never registered with The Lott Members Club.
  • After the mandatory two-week provisional period expired on June 26, no claimant has come forward to validate the $100 million prize.
  • The Lott is scrutinising CCTV recordings, transaction records and ticket details in a bid to trace the mystery purchaser.
  • Under NSW rules, winners have six years to claim prizes before unclaimed funds revert to community donations, bonus draws and player promotions.
  • Officials warn the ticket could be misplaced or hidden and urge Bondi Junction customers to recheck old stubs and register future tickets.
