Altona Retiree Claims Entire $80 Million Powerball Jackpot After Missed Calls

The case underscores The Lott’s push to register entries for swift winner contact.

Overview

  • The sole national division one winner in Powerball draw 1552 has been confirmed as a Victorian retiree from Altona.
  • The Lott reached him only after repeated attempts, with the winner describing “so many missed calls” and reacting in tears once told.
  • His 50‑game QuickPick was purchased online via The Lott, and he plans a low‑key celebration including a long‑hoped‑for trip to Italy.
  • The winning numbers were 20, 30, 21, 18, 11, 14 and 12, with Powerball number 7.
  • More than 2.13 million other prizes shared over $50.04 million, including 13 division two winners who each received $106,768.70, as officials urged registration and promoted group syndicates.
