A Tasmanian resident or visitor is walking around with a million-dollar winning TattsLotto ticket, completely unaware of their newfound fortune. Lottery officials are urging everyone to check their tickets, hoping the lucky winner comes forward soon.
The elusive millionaire held one of the five division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4473, drawn Saturday 1 June 2024. Each entry took home $1,048,013.90.
However, the winning entry was not registered to a player card, which means lotto officials have no way of contacting the ticketholder and must wait for them to come forward.
The winning entry was purchased at Derwent Park Newsagency, 255 Main Road, Derwent Park.
Derwent Park Newsagency owners Glenn Commane and James Warburton said they both nearly fell over when they found out their outlet had sold a division one winning entry worth $1 million.
“What sensational news for our Tasmanian community! We saw the winning news on Sunday morning, and we immediately nearly passed out,” Glenn said.
“Our last division one winning entry was a few years ago now and it’s great to know that luck has come our way.
“We’ll be celebrating this winning news by sharing it with all of our regular customers. We know they’ll be ecstatic that someone in our community has won a major prize.
“There’s no doubt we’ll be asking all of our customers to check their tickets to see if they’re the mystery winner we’re searching for!”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she hoped Tasmanian’s latest division one winner would check their ticket and come forward soon.
“This winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve become a newly minted millionaire in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw,” she said.
“We’re urging anyone who purchased a TattsLotto ticket from Derwent Park Newsagency to check their tickets today!
“How exciting would it be to discover you’ve won more than $1 million? It would be an unforgettable moment and would certainly change the course of your life.
“Make sure you check your tickets, and if you do discover that you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4473 on 1 June 2024 were 22, 42, 39, 28, 5 and 21, while the supplementary numbers were 13 and 29.
