The Lott has confirmed an incorrect winning number appeared on its website and app for “a period of about two minutes”.

But the tipster believes it was much longer than that.

“The conduct of Powerball draw 1384, the scan of the entries into the draw, the identification of the winning entries, the declaration of dividends and the payment of prizes were unaffected by this display issue,” The Lott said in a statement.
