Each winning entry will bring in $40 million each.
None of the multimillion-dollar winning entries were recorded on a player card, which means The Lott officials have no way of contacting the winners. Instead, they wait for ticket holders to check their tickets and make contact.
It has now been revealed that the winning NSW entry has been purchased from Saigon Bookstore and Lottery, Shop 6 Cabramatta Mall, 47 Park Road, Cabramatta.
And the winning Victorian entry was purchased at Sun Market Lotto, Booth 1 Sunshine Marketplace, 80 Harvester Road, Sunshine.
“Our winners could go through their weekend not knowing that their winning entries are hidden in their purses, wallets, or taped to their refrigerator doors,” said The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart.
“There are 40 million reasons Cabramatta and Sunshine lottery players should check their tickets today.
“Imagine finding out that you are suddenly a multi-millionaire. No doubt your plans for the weekend would change. Instead of mowing the lawn, running errands, or running errands, you could party with your friends and family.
“All you have to do is visit TheLott.com, scan your ticket on The Lott app or visit one of our friendly outlets to find out if you are our Premier League winner.
“The next step is to give us a call on 131 868 if you think you hold one of these division one winning entries.
“We are in the prize payout business and look forward to uniting these winners with their great deals, so we urge all players to check their tickets.”
The winning numbers in Powerball draw 1357 Thursday night were 15, 34, 5, 11, 28, 8 and 27 while the Powerball number was 3.
