A Gatton resident or visitor to the region has started the week more than $770,000 richer after scoring division one in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw – they just haven’t realised yet.
The Queensland winner held one of the five division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3961, drawn Saturday 6 July 2019. Each division one winning entry takes home a prize of $774,838.34.
The entry is unregistered, which means Golden Casket officials have no way of contacting the winner to break the life-changing news.
The winning ticket was purchased at Gatton Plaza Newsagency, Shop 7-8, Gatton Plaza, Gatton.
Gatton Plaza Newsagency employee Julie Feldhahn said she hopes the winner checks their ticket soon.
“We’ve been telling everyone who comes in today to check their ticket, really hoping that they’re the person we’re searching for,” she said.
“News does travel fast in Gatton so we don’t think it will be very long before the winner checks their ticket and discovers they’re a division one winner.”
Golden Casket spokesperson Lauren Cooney said she was eager to unite the player with their prize.
“We love delivering life-changing news and we can’t wait to break this news to one of our latest division one winners,” she said.
“If you had an entry into the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw, we promise you it’s worth checking your ticket now.
“You could be our mystery division one winner! Just imagine how your plans for the rest of the year could change after you discover you’re almost $775,000 richer.
