A mystery Canberra resident is this morning almost $5 million richer – but they might not know it.

The anonymous lotto player scooped the entire division one pool of the Set for Life draw, amounting to $4.8 million paid in installments of $20,000 every single month for 20 years.

Because the winning ticket was bought by an unregistered player, authorities have no way of contacting Australia’s newest millionaire to inform them of the news.

The winning numbers and draw number can be found below.

All lottery officials have to go off is the ticket was bought at the Thistle Kiosk in Westfield Woden, Canberra.

The winning numbers in Set for Life draw 2072 on Thursday 8 April 2021 were: 1,17, 4, 25, 33, 34 and 36 While the supplementary numbers were 39 and 18. (Supplied)

According to Oz lotteries, the odds of winning a Division One prize in the Set For Life game is an astonishing one in 38,320,568 (38.3 million).

Comparing probability statistics is deeply flawed, but for reference the Taronga Zoo in Sydney estimates that if someone swam in Australia’s oceans once a week their risk of being attacked by a shark was one in 5.2 million.
