A Cranbourne lottery player could be finding another reason to celebrate on Christmas day after scoring $4.8 million in last night’s Set for Life draw, but first, they need to check their ticket.
The elusive winner held the only division one winning entry nationally in Set for Life draw 3056, drawn Monday 18 December 2023.
They took home the prize of $4.8 million paid in instalments of $20,000 a month for 20 years.
However, the winning entry is unregistered which means officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner to break the life-changing news. Instead, they must wait for the ticketholder to come forward to claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at SuperStar Lucky Lotto, Shop 6/95 Monahans Road, Cranbourne.
SuperStar Lucky Lotto manager Khanh Nguyen said it was a wonderful prize to win with Christmas right around the corner.
“It’s so exciting. We’re so pleased to have sold a division one winning entry in Set for Life, especially with Christmas around the corner and given times have been tough for everyone,” he said.
“We recently sold a top prize on a $10 Instant Scratch-Its ticket and the fortunate winner looks forward to taking home $1,000 a week for the next 10 years. The wins keep on rolling!
“We hope our division one winner comes forward to check their ticket soon as we would love to share the winning moment with them.
“We wish them all the very best and congratulate them on their division one win! Thank you for supporting SuperStar Lucky Lotto.”
