Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A group of joggers powering through inner Sydney today are on the hunt for a mystery millionaire who has $100 million waiting for them. A person who bought a winning Powerball ticket at a Bondi Junction newsletter on June 12 remains unknown two months later, and lotto authorities are stepping up their efforts to find them. Today, that will take the form of a group of people in running gear taking a brisk path through the city streets, hoping to "jog" the memory of the anonymous ticket-buyer. A $100 million Powerball winner is sought in Sydney. (The Lott) "It has now been 63 days since the elusive ticket holder won this massive $100 million prize and throughout that time, we have been eagerly waiting to unite the winner with their Powerball windfall," The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said. "Each day during the past nine weeks, we've been asking ourselves – is today the day the winning ticket is presented?" The person who bought the ticket from Bondi Junction Newsagency on Oxford Street now shares the title of Australia's third-biggest lottery winner. They have six years to pick up their new fortune. "Today, we're hosting a Memory Jog around the streets where the winning entry was sold in the hope that seeing our team running around Bondi Junction sparks a memory and spurs players to hunt for unchecked lottery tickets," Hart said "In previous cases where people have come forward weeks, months and even years after the draw to finally claim their prize, they've told us the winning ticket was hiding in plain sight the whole time – in their wallet or purse, on the fridge, or just lying around in a drawer." The winning numbers in the draw on Thursday, June 12, were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21. The Powerball number was 6. There are many different ways to get help and information about gambling.

Powerball jackpot soars to mind-boggling amount

Powerball has soared to $30 million after there was no winning entry in Thursday night's draw. The winning numbers for Powerball draw #1526 were 33, 5, 12, 14, 19, 32, and 1, with the Powerball number 10. No one took home the division one prize of $20m, meaning the jackpot has increased to a whopping $30m for next Thursday's Powerball. Despite no one claiming the largest prize, three division two winners took home $168,353 each. A total of 51 players won division three, each pocketing $12,312, and 1031 players won $529 in division four. On Thursday, members of The Lott pounded the pavement in Sydney to try and track down the mysterious Division One winner of the $100m Powerball earlier this year. The elusive player had purchased the winning ticket at Bondi Junction Newsagency for Powerball draw 1217, which was drawn on June 12. In NSW, ticketholders have six years to claim their winnings before it expires. In an effort to inspire the mysterious winner to check their wallet, a band of runners from The Lott conducted a 'memory jog' across Bondi. 'It has now been 63 days since the elusive ticket holder won this massive $100m prize and throughout that time we have been eagerly waiting to unite the winner with their Powerball windfall,' The Lott spokesman Matt Hart said. 'Each day during the past nine weeks, we've been asking ourselves 'is today the day the winning ticket is presented?'' Entries to Thursday's Powerball draw 1527 close at 7.30pm AEST, with the draw shortly after.
