Another clue drops as frantic hunt for Powerball $100 million winner intensifies
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
