A lucky Australian has won a $50 million Oz Lotto jackpot… but he still doesn’t know he’s hit the big prize.
The new billionaire, from southeast Queensland, bought his ticket online and matched all seven numbers. So far, calls from lottery officials have not been returned.
The winning numbers were 1, 2, 4, 18, 28, 37 and 47, with the supplementary numbers 11, 24 and 27.

“If you see several missed calls on your phone, you could be the winner we’re trying to contact,” said Lott spokesman Matt Hart.
“You may not think it’s possible for you to be the division one winner we’re looking for, but if you bought a ticket online for this week’s Oz Lotto draw and haven’t checked yet, you’ve got a chance.”
“We urge all Oz Lotto players to review their entries as soon as possible.”
It comes a week after a woman took home a $20 million Powerball prize, even though she initially thought she had only won $20,000.

‘Look [the ticket] and then I ran to my family and said, ‘I’ve won $20,000!'” the woman from Gladstone, New South Wales, told The Lott officials.
“They looked at it and then they looked at me and said, ‘No, you haven’t. You’ve won 20 million dollars!”
The woman said she would have been happy to have won a $20,000 prize, but is now “in fairyland” for this life-changing victory.
“I still can’t believe it,” he said. “I keep thinking I’ll wake up and come back to reality.”
He broke down in tears when asked what he would do with the huge prize and told lottery officials that he had been waiting “for one of (their) calls for years.”
He plans to buy a house and travel around the world with his earnings.
