A Townsville resident or visitor has scored a sweet $1 million prize in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw but may be unaware they’re a newly-minted millionaire.
The mystery Townsville ticketholder held one of the four division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 4381, drawn Wednesday 10 April 2024 and took home $1 million.
The winning entry was not registered to a player card, which means officials from The Lott have no way of notifying the winner of their life-changing win and must wait for them to check their ticket.
The winning ticket was purchased at Stuart Drive Food & News, Shop 9, 344 Stuart Drive, Wulguru.
Stuart Drive Food & News owner Trevor Nicholson said they’re thrilled to have sold a division one winning entry to one of their customers.
“It’s such a fantastic day for us and of course, for our winning customer!” he said.
“We know these wins change lives and we just hope our amazing winner discovers their fortune soon and can celebrate accordingly.
“It’s been a while between division one wins for us so we’re hoping this starts a run of big wins and good vibes across the community.”
The Lott spokesperson James Eddy said he was eagerly waiting to speak to Townsville’s latest division one winner.
“It’s very likely this division one winner is oblivious to the fact they became a millionaire last night!” he said.
“We’re urging anyone who purchased a Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto entry at Stuart Drive Food & News to check their tickets as soon as possible.
