Lottery officials are urging Victorians to check their tickets as two winners in the weekend's Saturday Lotto $20 million Superdraw have yet to come forward to claim their windfall.
The mystery players held some of the 21 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4489, drawn Saturday 27 July 2024, taking home about $1 million ($952,380.96) each.
The winning entries are unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact the winners to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
One of the division one winning entries was purchased at Meadow Heights Lotto & News, Shop 11A Meadow Heights Shopping Centre, 55 Paringa Boulevard, Meadow Heights. The other entry was purchased at IGA Supermarket Thomastown, 122 Main Street, Thomastown.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said The Lott was in the business of paying prizes and looked forward to uniting the state’s latest division one winners with their TattsLotto loots.
“It’s likely our latest division one winners have gone about their week as normal with no idea they’ve won division one,” she exclaimed.
“We’ve made contact with most of the division one winners in the weekend’s draw but are yet to confirm the life-enhancing news with these two mystery Victorian winners.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a TattsLotto ticket from Meadow Heights Lotto & News or IGA Supermarket Thomastown to check their tickets today.
“Imagine how exciting it would be to realise you’ve won more than $952,000. Your plans for the rest of 2024 could change in a heartbeat.
“Be sure to check your TattsLotto ticket, which could be sitting in your wallet, handbag, on the fridge door or in the car glovebox!
“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
