On Thursday, June 25, an Australian Capital Territory (ACT) player held the only division one-winning entry nationally in Powerball draw 1571, which had a prize of $40 million. The jackpot win marks the third-largest lottery prize ever won in the ACT.
Ticket Details and Winner Notification
The ticket was purchased from a NSW Lotteries outlet in the territory. As the winning entrant is not registered with The Lott Members Club, the winner is yet to be notified of their prize. Lottery operator The Lott is encouraging all ACT residents and visitors with an entry to Thursday's draw to check their tickets.
According to The Lott, the winner has not come forward, and their identity remains a mystery. The ticket holder is urged to sign the back of the ticket and contact The Lott to claim their prize.
Impact on the ACT
This win is a significant event for the nation's capital, which is now potentially home to a new multimillionaire. The $40 million prize is the third-largest lottery win in ACT history, following previous jackpots of $50 million and $60 million. The Lott spokesperson said, "We are eager to see the winner come forward and claim their life-changing prize."
