Million-dollar news awaits one Canberra resident or visitor who scored $1.4 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw – but first, they need to check their tickets and come forward.

The mystery player held one of the seven division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4431 on Saturday 6 January 2024, and took home a total prize of $1,441,433.03.

The winning entry is unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact the winner to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.

The division one winning entry was purchased at Curtin Newsagency & Post Office, Shop 38, Shop 38, Curtin Shopping Centre, 28 Curtin Place, Curtin.

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.

“Being an outlet that has sold seven division one winning entries is a source of immense pride for us. It reaffirms our commitment to providing our customers with a chance at life-altering moments.

“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.

“We wish our mystery winner a big congratulations on this life-changing victory! We sincerely hope this brings great joy and prosperity to your life.

“May your newfound fortune open doors to a future filled with happiness and fulfilment.”

The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she couldn’t wait to unite Canberra’s latest division one winner with their sensational 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 exclaimed.

“We’re urging all players who purchased a Saturday Lotto ticket from Curtin Newsagency & Post Office to check their tickets as soon as possible.

“There certainly wouldn’t be any thought of Monday blues if the mystery winner checked their ticket today.

“Winning tickets can often be found in wallets, handbags, fridge doors or car gloveboxes. Be sure to check anywhere or everywhere because the winner could be you!

“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.

“This is a great reminder to all players to register their tickets to a players card or online account because if you scored division one your prize is secure, and we can call you immediately to let you know about the winning news!”
