A single entry from the ACT was the only division one winner in Australia's Powerball draw 1571 on June 25, 2026, scooping the entire A$40 million. Because the ticket is not registered, the operator has no way to reach the winner - who may still be unaware.
One unregistered ticket, A$40 million
Somewhere in Canberra, a Powerball player is A$40 million richer - and may have no idea. In Australia's Powerball draw 1571 on Thursday, 25 June 2026, a single entry held in the Australian Capital Territory was the only division one winning ticket in the whole country, claiming the entire A$40 million jackpot. The lucky entry was bought from a NSW Lotteries outlet in the territory.
The winner who might not know yet
There is a catch: the winning entry is not registered to a The Lott Members Club card, which means the operator has no way to pick up the phone and deliver the good news. Days after the draw, no one had come forward to claim the prize. The Lott urged everyone who bought a ticket for the draw in the ACT to dig it out and check it carefully. There is no rush in one sense - players in New South Wales and the ACT have up to six years to claim - but few winners like to leave A$40 million sitting unclaimed.
Third-biggest in the capital's history
If and when the ticket is checked, it will rewrite a small piece of local history: the operator says the prize is the third-largest lottery win ever recorded in the ACT. For now, the territory's newest multimillionaire remains a mystery - possibly carrying a life-changing slip of paper in a wallet or stuck to the fridge.
