A Victorian resident or visitor might have unknowingly hit the jackpot, securing a colossal $15 million from Tuesday's Oz Lotto draw.
The fortuitous Melburnian possesses one of the two division one winning tickets in Oz Lotto draw 1594 on 3 September 2024 but has yet to claim their windfall due to the ticket being unregistered.
They each take home $15 million. You can find the details of that draw here: Two Aussies Take Home $30M Oz Lotto Jackpot.
Purchased at Seraglio Lotto, located in South Melbourne Central, the ticket now awaits its owner, who remains in the dark about their newfound fortune. The urgency to identify the winner is palpable, as lottery officials can only hope that the winner checks their ticket and comes forward.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said someone’s life had completely changed tonight, but they might not yet have realised it.
“Imagine going to bed tonight not knowing you’ve just won $15 million in Oz Lotto! That’s the reality for one mystery Victorian player after scoring division one in tonight’s draw,” she said.
“While we’ve been unable to confirm the division one win with the winner, we’re sure that when they check their ticket and discover their news, they’ll be jumping for joy.
“We’re encouraging everyone to check their entries because they might be the newly-minted multi-millionaire we’re searching for!
“If you think you’re holding this very valuable entry, please call The Lott on 131 868 to start the process of claiming your prize.
“This is a great reminder to all lottery players to register your ticket to an online account or players card because if you scored a life-changing prize we could call immediately after the draw with the exhilarating news.”
