Have you bought a Saturday Lotto ticket in the Newcastle suburb of Weston recently?
If you replied “yes”, you might need to check your entry again.
It’s possible a Hunter resident is oblivious to the fact he or she is $1 million richer.
The mystery player holds one of 10 division one winning entries in draw 4397, which took place on 9 September.
Unfortunately, the ticket is unregistered, meaning officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner to break the exciting news.
So, they’re waiting for the individual to come forward to claim their prize after the entry was purchased at Weston Discount Pharmacy in Station Street.
The chemist’s lottery manager, Lesley Lester, said she was excited to have a potential millionaire in their midst.
“This is the first time we’ve sold a division one winning entry since taking over the terminal in Weston,” she explained.
“What a memorable moment.
“We’re so happy for our customer and we hope it’s a local.
“But, regardless of who it is and where they’re from, we will be overjoyed for them.
“We recently sold a top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its tickets to a local and they scored $50,000, which is wonderful.
“Congratulations to the mystery winner and we wish them all the best with their division one prize.
“We hope it makes life a little bit easier for them.”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she hoped the region’s latest division one winner would check their Saturday Lotto ticket and come forward soon.
“We were eager to reach out to this winner but unfortunately their Saturday Lotto ticket wasn’t registered to a player card or online account, meaning we don’t have their contact details,” she added.
“How exciting would it be to discover you’ve won $1 million on a Monday afternoon?
“It would be an unforgettable moment and an incredible way to start the spring season off.
“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 Saturday Lotto draw 4397 were 11, 9, 14, 29, 7 and 15, with the supplementaries 17 and 23.
Across Australia, there were 10 division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4397 – four in New South Wales, three in Victoria, two in Queensland, and one in the Australian Capital Territory.
