TattsLotto players who purchased an entry from Dingley Village are being encouraged to check their tickets today after one local resident or visitor scored a division one prize worth over $620,000 but are yet to claim their prize.
The mystery winner holds one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4085, drawn Saturday 12 September 2020. Each division one winning entry took home a prize of $621,499.92.
The elusive player did not register their entry to a Tatts Card, so officials from the Lott have no way of contacting the winner.
The winning entry was purchased at Nova Pharmacy Dingley, 97 Centre Dandenong Road, Dingley Village.
Nova Pharmacy Dingley Outlet Manager Suzanne Bates said she was thrilled to discover her outlet had sold a division one winning entry.
“When we heard the amazing news, we were excited and happy for the winner!” she exclaimed.
“We are encouraging everyone in Dingley Village or the surrounding suburbs to come forward and check their tickets.
“We will be flourishing the store today with balloons and streamers to let everyone know what is happening. We hope it helps us find our winner.
“This is the second division one winning entry we’ve sold in three years, which is fantastic!
“We can’t wait to congratulate the winner when they discover their win. We are sure it has come at a good time for them during the hard times we are experiencing in Melbourne.”
The Lott spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said other winners had found their winning tickets in all sorts of nooks and crannies.
“We’ve had other winners tell us they’ve discovered their ticking hiding in plain sight like on the fridge door or on a pinboard in the office, while others have found them buried in the depths of their junk drawer,” she explained.
“Other winners have declared their shock when they realised they’d been carrying a winning ticket in their wallet, purse or handbag for days without checking it.
“That’s why if you purchased an entry from Nova Pharmacy Dingley, you have over 620,000 reasons why you should check your ticket today.
“If you do check your ticket and discover you are the winner we are searching for, please call 131 868 as soon as possible to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
