A Lugarno resident has unwittingly become a millionaire, having won a division one prize in the Saturday Lotto, but has not yet claimed their $862,332.62 share of the $5.2 million jackpot.
The draw, held on Saturday, 13 April 2024, saw six winners nationwide, each clinching a significant portion of the prize pool.
This Sydney player's division one winning entry is unregistered, which means lotto officials have no way to contact the winner to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at Lugarno News & Post, 1028 Forest Road, Lugarno.
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he hoped the mystery Lugarno player checked their ticket soon.
“What a way to start the week! Imagine discovering you won division one in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw!” he exclaimed.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a Saturday Lotto ticket from Lugarno to check their tickets as soon as possible.
“Make sure you check your ticket, which could be in your wallet, handbag, fridge door or car glovebox, because our mystery winner could be you!”
The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4459 on 15 April 2024 were 18, 25, 19, 16, 1 and 3, while the supplementary numbers were 7 and 33.
Across Australia, there were six division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4459 – three from Victoria, two from New South Wales and one from South Australia.
