“They may be on holiday or busy or have forgotten they bought it in the first place.”įullarton said Lotto has experienced a rare occasion when a customer knows they’ve won a prize, but delays claiming the winnings while they process the news and decide on their next steps. “It’s usually because people simply haven’t checked their ticket,” she said. So, why hasn’t the winner come forward yet? Lotto’s head of communications Lucy Fullarton told the Herald there could be a variety of reasons why the winning ticket has not yet been presented. Instead, the responsibility now falls to Lotto itself - which will soon begin actively searching for the Powerball winner. It’s not so much a headache for the Lotto till which sold the winning ticket, staff have walked away with fond memories of celebrating their successful ticket sale last Thursday. Roughly 1.4 million Lotto Powerball tickets were sold across the country last week when it was announced that $33 million would be up for grabs and one person got lucky.īut despite Lotto confirming on Wednesday night a winning ticket, worth $33.5m, had been sold in the Christchurch suburb of Merivale, a week has now passed and no winnings have been claimed. Ryan Mac, a BuzzFeed technology reporter, has created a timeline of where he has seen the video, including it being shared from a verified Twitter account with 694,000 followers.Someone in Christchurch is a multi, multi-millionaire but either doesn’t know it or is yet to take any steps thus far to claim their prize.Several Australian media outlets broadcast some of the footage, as did other major newspapers around the world.People continue to report seeing the video, despite the sites acting pretty swiftly to remove the original and copies, and copies are still being uploaded to YouTube faster than it can remove them.
The attacks were live-streamed on Facebook and, despite the original being taken down, were quickly replicated and shared widely on other platforms, including YouTube and Twitter.PewDiePie later said on Twitter he was "absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person" PewDiePie has been embroiled in a race row before, so some have speculated that the attacker knew that mentioning him would provoke a reaction online. Before opening fire he shouted "subscribe to PewDiePie", a reference to a meme about keeping YouTube star PewDiePie as the most-subscribed-to channel on the platform. The suspect also referenced a meme in the actual video.That document was, as Bellingcat analyst Robert Evans points out, filled with "huge amounts of content, most of it ironic, low-quality trolling" and memes, in order to distract and confuse people.
The post included links to the suspect's Facebook page, where he stated he would be live-streaming and published a rambling and hate-filled document
