Lottery officials are calling on Alstonville locals and visitors to check their Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot tickets after a mystery player scored $200,00 in yesterday’s draw but is yet to come forward.
The Northern Rivers winner held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1686, drawn Thursday 29 August 2024, and pocketed a total prize of $200,000.
However, as the winning entry is not registered to a player card, officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the ticketholder and must wait for them to check their ticket and come forward.
The 1st Prize winning entry was purchased at Alstonville Newsagency, Shop 2, 79-83 Main Street, Alstonville.
Alstonville Newsagency team member Liz Voss said she couldn’t contain her excitement when she saw the 1st Prize winning memo come across her terminal screen.
“I’ve been working at this outlet for 17 years and the wins just keep getting sweeter,” she said.
“This year has been quite the winning year with several division one and 1st Prize winning tickets sold here.
“We hope our mystery winner checks their ticket soon and comes forward to claim their prize.”
The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said she was urging anyone who purchased a Lucky Lotteries ticket from Alstonville Newsagency to check their ticket today!
“Our elusive winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve won $200,000 in the yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw,” she said.
“Imagine if the ticket sitting in your glove box, tucked in your purse, or by your bedside table is worth $200,000!
“Make sure you check your tickets, Alstonville, and if you discover you are holding the winning ticket,contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the prize claim process.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $2.2 million for draw 1687, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now over $4 million for draw 10871.
In FY24, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $53.4 million.
Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot are raffle-style games, which means there is a set number of tickets in each draw. As each ticket number is unique there is no sharing of prizes.
Each game has two draws – one that determines the winning numbers and one that determines the jackpot number. If the jackpot number matches one of the winning numbers, then the Jackpot Prize is won. If the jackpot number does not match one of the winning numbers, the Jackpot Prize will climb for the next draw.
Tickets can be purchased at any licenced lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via The Lott mobile app.
