Another clue drops as frantic hunt for Powerball $100 million winner intensifies: 'Could be a tourist'
More than a day after the life-changing numbers were drawn, Australia's newest multimillionaire is still a mystery — and officials are desperately urging Powerball players in Sydney's east to check their tickets immediately. One ticket, purchased at Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Café on Oxford Street, holds the sole division one winning entry from Thursday night's $100 million Powerball draw 1517. But with no registered player details linked to the ticket, The Lott still has no way of contacting the winner — and can only wait, and hope, that someone soon realises they've become one of the country's richest individuals. "With a winning entry tucked away in their car, wallet, or stuck on their fridge door, one New South Wales player is walking around completely oblivious to the fact their life has forever changed," The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said. "There are 100 million reasons why Sydney's eastern suburbs players should check their tickets today.' The winning numbers drawn Thursday, June 12, were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21. The Powerball number was 6. For Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Café, the news is already legendary. "Wow. It's legendary to hear we've sold the winning ticket in Thursday night's Powerball draw worth $100 million," said store owner Manish. "This is by far the biggest winning entry we've ever sold. The team are thrilled to hear the winning news. I'll be rewarding the particular staff member who sold the winning ticket, too. I'm hoping it's one of our regular customers, but you never know — it could be a tourist too. We're located right next to the closest station to Bondi Beach, so you never know." The Lott confirmed that this is the only Division One winner nationally in draw 1517, meaning just one lucky ticket holder is entitled to the entire nine-figure prize. $100 million Powerball winner reveals how her life has changed How $100 million Powerball winner can best spend their jackpot Powerball $100m draw: What really happens when you score "Imagine discovering you're suddenly a multi-millionaire! You could immediately retire, take the trip of your dreams, or spoil those nearest and dearest to you," Wregg added. "All you need to do is visit scan your ticket on The Lott app or visit one of our friendly retailers to find out if you are our division one winner." If the winner comes forward, they'll join the ranks of Powerball royalty. Last year alone, 21 Australians shared in over $773 million worth of division one prizes — including a record $150 million win by a single Adelaide man. Until then, the nation waits — and watches — to see who will step forward to claim one of the biggest lottery prizes ever handed out in Australia. Do you have a story tip?

ATO superannuation warning as deadline for $30,000 deduction fast approaches
Australians have been warned about a step they need to complete if they want to make voluntary superannuation contributions. Many people have hopped on this trend because these additional payments into your nest egg are tax-deductible. However, you might not be aware that you have to fill out a form to ensure you can still make this deduction at tax time. Financial advisor Nicole Gardner told Yahoo Finance too many people miss this important part. "Sometimes they put the lump sum contribution in and they think, 'Oh, yep, I've done the right thing there. I've got the tax back'. But you actually need to lodge the form," she said. Common tax mistake costing Aussies $1,000 on ATO refund ATO, Centrelink warning over $100 million Powerball lottery win Centrelink cash boost coming from July 1 for millions of Aussies The form you need is the Notice of Intent to Claim (NOI). Filling it out is a relatively straightforward process, and you need a few details handy, such as your Tax File Number, as well as personal and superannuation said if you were planning on making voluntary super contributions before June 30, you have until the end of the next financial year in mid-2026 to lodge the form. If you fail to do that, then you won't be able to claim it as a tax deduction. But, that means if you didn't submit the form for voluntary super contributions last financial year, you only have a few weeks to lodge the NOI before the June 30 deadline. The Stellar Wealth founder and financial advisor explained to Yahoo Finance that lodging the NOI form instructs the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to treat the contribution as if it came from your pre-tax income. That would mean it would only be hit with a 15 per cent tax compared to your marginal income tax rate, which could be as high as 47 per cent. Gardner said you were able to claim back the difference between that 15 per cent rate and your income tax rate. According to Motley Fool, the average voluntary super contribution for Aussies aged 55 to 59 per year is $5,027. If someone in that 55 to 59 age bracket was on the top tax rate and they failed to lodge the NOI form, they could miss out on a $1,608 tax break for that year alone. The financial advisor said the typical person who doesn't lodge an NOI was someone who does a lump sum payment to their super from their bank account rather than through their accountant or adviser. The ATO sometimes won't be able to discern between a personal contribution and an employer's one, and this form can clear up any confusion. You can do voluntary superannuation contributions through a salary sacrifice arrangement, which would allow you to skip submitting the NOI form. This money would be siphoned off from your pre-tax salary and go on top of your employer's contributions without you needing to lift a finger. You can also make personal contributions like a bank transfer, as well as contributions for your spouse, parents, other family or friends. There's an annual cap of $30,000 for these concessional contributions, which includes the money paid by your employer. For example, if you earn $100,000, your employer will have sent $11,500 to your super fund over the 2024-25 financial year. That allows you to put an extra $18,500 into your super in one year. If you have unused cap amounts from previous years, you might be able to carry them forward to increase your contribution caps in later years. While they can be a great way to top up your retirement nest egg, Gardner said it was not always the best place to put your extra money. "It really depends on what your other goals are because the money's locked away once you put it in there," she said. "Also, for some people, the tax saving isn't big enough. "If you're earning less than $45,000 a year, you're on a 16 per cent tax rate, and the tax rate in super is 15 per cent, so there's really not much of a tax saving. "There's a lot of things to consider, and people should always be getting financial advice before they make any decisions."Sign in to access your portfolio

Grim $215 revelation exposes bleak reality for millions in Australia: 'It's crazy'
Millions of Australians have little to no financial backup, as new data has revealed the startling amount in people's bank accounts. Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker found the average Aussie had about $33,345 sitting in an account. However, 43 per cent of people who responded to their survey, equivalent to 9.2 million Aussies, said they had less than $1,000 stashed away. The average amount of that cohort was just $215. Finder also discovered 18 per cent of people, or 4.3 million individuals, had absolutely nothing. Average amount Australians have stashed in savings by age revealed ATO, Centrelink warning over $100 million Powerball lottery win Centrelink cash boost coming from July 1 for millions of Aussies Many who were in the sub $1,000 club expressed that the cost of living in Australia was holding them back from being able to get ahead. "It's really expensive," a 59-year-old with just $19 to his name explained to loan company Coposit. "Food has gone up from $150 a week, and now it's like $300... it's crazy. A loaf of bread went from $1.85 to almost $3, [it's] doubled in the last 12 months.""Living out of home at 24 is very expensive, and I'm a student, so I'm only working part time," a Sydney resident, who had $600 in her account, said. "[Renting] makes it even more difficult to save that money, because there's no backup." A 22-year-old said he was "broke" mainly because of rent and spending too much money on nights out. "Sydney, is expensive... you can go get a s**tbox apartment for $300 a week... that's like, heaps, right?" he said. "One bedroom, and you got a sink that doesn't work. Laundry doesn't work, you know? It's just too pricey. But I also go out too much and drink too much." Another 24-year-old from Germany who is living in Sydney said rent was her biggest wallet drainer, as she only had 67 cents in her savings account. A 77-year-old former music promoter who worked with bands like Men at Work and INXS had zero savings. Despite that, he didn't seem to be too glum about his financial situation. "Spend your money," he said. "You can't take it with you. You've got a million dollars when you die or no money, having no money's better." Findex financial adviser Jess Bell said a good savings goal was to have three months' worth of income stashed in your rainy day fund. "That's at least comfortable to provide for emergencies,' she told Yahoo Finance. 'You need to make sure you have emergency funds to provide for those contingencies that just come out of the blue. "It's making sure that you allow for when things go wrong, because they can go wrong.' Here's how much the average Australian has in savings by age, according to Westpac data, with both the mean and median amounts listed: 17 and under: $4,769 and $1,135 18 to 24: $13,069 and $2,410 25 to 29: $19,165 and $2,200 30 to 34: $21,394 and $1,104 35 to 44: $29,769 and $811 45 to 54: $52,836 and $1,429 55 to 64: $87,891 and $5,316 65 to 74: $101,004 and $15,829 75 and over: $130,597 and $31,424Sign in to access your portfolio
