The Great $100 Million Sydney Powerball Mystery
Imagine this — somewhere in Sydney right now, there’s a person holding a lottery ticket worth a jaw-dropping $100 million… and they might not even know it. That’s exactly the bizarre situation unfolding in Bondi Junction.
Back on June 12, a winning Powerball ticket was sold at a local newsagency on Oxford Street. The jackpot was a staggering $100 million, tying the lucky buyer for the third-biggest lottery win in Australian history. But here’s the twist — more than two months have passed, and no one has come forward to claim it.

Lotto officials have been patiently waiting for the ticket holder to appear, but with every day that slips by, the mystery deepens. So now, they’ve decided to get creative. This morning, a group of joggers took to the streets of inner Sydney, wearing running gear and pounding the pavement in what they’ve cheekily called a “Memory Jog.” The idea is simple — run through the exact area where the ticket was sold, hoping to spark someone’s memory. Maybe seeing them will remind the winner to check that old ticket stuffed in a wallet, purse, or kitchen drawer.
Matt Hart from The Lott says it’s been 63 days since the draw, and every single day since then, they’ve been wondering, “Is today the day the winner comes forward?” Past winners who claimed their prize late often found their ticket had been “hiding in plain sight” the whole time — on the fridge, in the glovebox, or buried under a pile of papers.
The winning numbers for that fateful June 12 draw were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14, and 21, with the Powerball number 6. And while the ticket holder technically has six years to claim their prize, lotto officials aren’t keen to let this drag out any longer than it has to. After all, $100 million is life-changing — the kind of money that turns ordinary routines upside down.
And in the middle of all this suspense, Powerball rolled on last night with Draw 1526. No one hit the jackpot this time, so the prize now climbs to $30 million for next week. Still, plenty of players had something to celebrate — three people won over $168,000 each in Division Two, and dozens of others scored tens of thousands in lower divisions.
But for now, Sydney’s biggest question remains — who is holding that $100 million ticket? Is it sitting forgotten in a shopping bag? Pressed inside a book? Or maybe already lost forever? Until that mystery is solved, the streets of Bondi Junction will keep buzzing with the possibility that the next person you walk past could be Australia’s newest mega-millionaire without even realising it.
