Time’s running out: Mystery winner of a record $55 MILLION Powerball jackpot has just 98 days to claim their prize – or their ‘fortune’ goes to the government

The mystery winner of an unclaimed $55million Powerball prize has fewer than 100 days to present their ticket before the whole lot goes to the government.

The record unclaimed prize was drawn 83 days ago on January 11 and will be forfeited to the Victorian Government if the winner is not found in the next three months.

The unregistered player won the enormous jackpot with the correct numbers 32, 7, 5, 34, 38 and 11, as well as the Powerball, which was 12.

He or she was the only division one winner in Australia’s biggest lottery prize in more than a year.
