Mystery $55m lotto winner

SOMEONE in Victoria woke up $55 million richer yesterday after taking out the entire Powerball jackpot, but the new multi-millionaire may not even know it yet.

Thursday’s winning unregistered ticket was purchased in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, and took out the highest Australian lottery jackpot in 12 months.

The mystery winner picked all six winning numbers — 32, 7, 5, 34, 38 and 11, as well as the allimportant ‘Powerball,’ which was 12, but is yet to come forward. It is unclear if the prize could go to one individual person or a private syndicate, a Tatts spokeswoman said yesterday.
