Sunrise host Natalie Barr revealed her impressive Lotto win ahead of Thursday’s $100 million Powerball draw.

Two winning entries from NSW and Victoria took out the $100m Powerball last night.

Ten members of a syndicate that bought its ticket in the Sydney suburb of Rosebery are celebrating taking out $50m.

But the second winner who bought their ticket online in Victoria may well be oblivious to their good fortune as lottery officials had been unable to contact the ticketholder on Thursday night.

It is thought half of Australia’s adults bought a ticket for a chance to take home the mega jackpot.

Sunrise hosts were filmed purchasing their tickets live on-air on Thursday morning ahead of the draw, with Natalie Barr revealing she had recently won hundreds of dollars.

Her co-host Matt Shirvington told viewers she had scored more than $900 in a recent Lotto draw.

“Nat has the auto-pick where it just repeats,” he said.

“And she’s credited because she won like 900 bucks last time — wasn’t the 100 million.”

Natalie confirmed the win, saying: “$930! A few weeks ago!”

The Powerball prize soared to a whopping $100m for Thursday night’s draw after five consecutive weeks where no single division one winner was drawn.

The winning numbers are: 13, 7, 18, 1, 23, 25, 33. The powerball number is: 7.
