There’s nothing more thrilling than winning something, much more if it involves a large pot of money.

In a twist that sounds like it's straight out of a movie, a mystery Australian has become an overnight multi-millionaire after winning the Oz Lotto jackpot.

Yet, in an almost unbelievable turn of events, they remain completely unaware of their newfound fortune.

The winning ticket—which won $50 Million—was purchased online by someone in southeast Queensland.

The lucky individual has yet to discover their win, as they have not responded to the repeated contact attempts by lottery officials.

The winning numbers that have changed this person's life are 1, 2, 4, 18, 28, 37, and 47, with supplementary numbers 11, 24, and 27.

Imagine when they finally check their ticket and realise their life is forever altered!

Matt Hart, a spokesperson for The Lott, Australia's official lottery provider, has urged the winner to check their phones for possible calls.

'If you see several missed calls on your phone, you could be the winner we're trying to contact,' he said.

Hart also encouraged all Oz Lotto players to check their entries without delay, as they could be holding a ticket worth $50 million.

This incredible news comes just a week after another heartwarming lottery story, where a woman from Gladstone in New South Wales won a $20 million Powerball prize.

Initially, she thought she had won $20,000 and was overjoyed.

However, upon closer inspection, she realised she had won a life-changing $20 million.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she described feeling like she was in a 'fairyland' and could not believe her luck, even expecting to wake up from a dream.

The Gladstone winner had been playing her lucky numbers for years and had always hoped for 'one of (their) calls'.

Now, with $20 million to her name, she plans to buy a house and travel the world, a dream many share.

These stories are a reminder of the unpredictable joy that can come from a simple lottery ticket.

For those who have spent a lifetime working hard and saving, a windfall like this could fulfil long-held dreams or the ability to provide for their families in ways they never thought possible.

If you have recently purchased an Oz Lotto ticket online and have yet to check it, now is the time.

You could be the mystery winner of the $50 million jackpot!
