Two Melbourne entries each scored a TattsLotto division one prize of more than $3.3 million on the weekend, but the ticketholders may not know they’re now Australia’s newest multi-millionaires.
The two Victorian entries were among the six division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3945, drawn Saturday 11 May 2019. Each division one winning entry takes home a prize of $3,333,333.34.
Both tickets are unregistered, so Tatts officials have no way of contacting the winners with the life-changing news and have to wait for them to check their tickets.
The winning entries were purchased at Delahey Village Lotto, Kiosk 6-7, Delahey Village Shopping Centre, 260 Taylors Road, Delahey, and St Albans Lotto & Newsagency, 304 Main Road East, St Albans.
While the other division one winners from the weekend’s draw had already claimed their prizes, the Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said the Victorian winners may have yet to discover their dream-come-true news.
“Last weekend was TattsLotto’s $20 Million Superdraw and six entries shared this massive prize pool, with each division one winning entry taking home more than $3.3 million,” he said.
“The other Superdraw winners have already begun contemplating how they’ll use their multi-million-dollar fortune, but we’re still waiting for the Victorian winners to check their tickets and realise the amazing news.
“The Victorian winners are the last pieces of the puzzle, and we are standing by to unite these winners with their prizes.
“We are encouraging everyone in Melbourne who had an entry into Saturday’s draw to check their tickets today as it could be them!
“If you discover you are holding the winning entry, keep it in a safe spot and give us a call on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
