A resident or perhaps a visitor in the Ku-ring-gai Council area might be in for the biggest surprise of their life. Someone in the area has won the entire $30 million Oz Lotto jackpot from last night's draw and may be oblivious to their newfound multi-millionaire status.
The single winning entry from New South Wales was the only division one winning entry nationally in the Oz Lotto draw 1548, which took place on Tuesday, 17 October 2023. The entire $30 million jackpot goes to this ticket.
The winning ticket was purchased at an NSW Lotteries outlet situated in the Ku-ring-gai Council area of Northern Sydney. This council area encompasses several suburbs including East Gordon, East Killara, East Lindfield, East Roseville, Fox Valley, Gordon, Killara, Lindfield, North Turramurra, North St Ives, North Wahroonga, Pymble, Roseville (which is also shared with Willoughby), Roseville Chase, South Turramurra, St Ives, St Ives Chase, Turramurra, Wahroonga (shared with Hornsby), Warrawee, West Killara, and West Pymble.
Since the winning ticket was unregistered, lottery officials have no means to contact the winner directly. They now await the moment when this individual realizes their extraordinary fortune and steps forward to claim their reward.
To ensure the winner's privacy, further details about the outlet selling the winning ticket will be withheld until 9 am on Thursday, 19 October 2023, unless the winner emerges before then.
Last night's Oz Lotto draw also saw 485,296 other winners in divisions two to seven, garnering over $11.43 million in total prizes. Among these winners, 12 fortunate individuals won the division two prize, each pocketing $34,953.75.
