Officials are desperately trying to track down a mystery Sydneysider who has won the entire $20 million Oz Lotto prize.
A ticket purchased at a Sydney newsagency was the only division one winner in last night’s Oz Lotto draw, but the buyer remains unidentified.
It is not known if they are a local resident or a visitor from elsewhere.

The winning ticket was purchased at Broadway Newsagency in the centre of Sydney, but because the person who purchased the ticket isn’t a member of The Lott Members Club, officials have no way of contacting them to inform them that they now have a life-changing sum of money.
“It’s possible this mystery winner is waking up and heading to work with no idea they’ve scored $20 million,” The Lott’s Khat McIntyre said.
“Imagine how your plans for the rest of the day and the rest of your life might change with a prize of this magnitude!”
“We’re urging anybody who purchased an Oz Lotto ticket from Broadway Newsagency to check their tickets today.”
The winning numbers in Oz Lotto draw 1655 last night were 21, 17, 43, 25, 12, 18 and 14, while the supplementary numbers were 15, 42 and 24.
The biggest prize won this year was the $100 million jackpot in February by a woman in south-west Sydney.
The person who has the winning ticket is being urged to contact The Lott on 131 868 to claim their prize money.
