A Curtin newsagency customer who bought an entry in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw has scored $1.4 million – but first, they need to check their tickets and come forward.
The mystery player holds one of the seven division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4431 on Saturday 6 January, and will take home a total prize of $1,441,433.03.
The winning entry is unregistered, which means the winner can’t be contacted and must come forward to claim their prize.
The division one winning entry was purchased at Curtin Newsagency & Post Office at the Curtin Shops.
Curtin Newsagency & Post Office owner Thuy Nguyen said the division one winning entry was a momentous occasion for their outlet and they couldn’t be more excited for the mystery winner.
“We’re a family-run business and we’re absolutely thrilled to hear our store had sold a division one winning entry in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw,” she said.
“We will be planning special promotions and discounts at our shop this week to celebrate. We want our customers to share in the excitement and feel the joy of this significant accomplishment.”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she couldn’t wait to unite the mystery winner with their prize.
“It’s most likely our latest ACT winner has woken up today, gone about their usual morning routine and headed off to work with no idea they’ve won $1.4 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw,” she said.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a Saturday Lotto ticket from Curtin Newsagency & Post Office to check their tickets as soon as possible,” she said.
“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
