A Kempsey resident or visitor could be hard at work completely unaware they scored $200,000 in this week’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The mystery player held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1604 drawn on Tuesday, 14 February 2023.
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 winning entry was purchased at Kempsey Newsagency, 17 Smith Street, Kempsey.
Kempsey Newsagency owner Kevin Campbell said they were over the moon to have sold their third major lottery prize in ten years.
“This is a life-changing moment for someone who supports our newsagency,” he said.
“We’ve put up lots of signs and decorations to help celebrate this moment with them.
“Congratulations to our winner on this life-changing moment. We wish them all the best with their prize and hope they discover their win soon.”
The Lott spokesperson Francesca Figliano said that she looked forward to uniting the winner with their life-enhancing prize.
“It’s likely our winner is hard at work, completely unaware they’ve scored a $200,000 1st Prize!” she exclaimed.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot entry from Kempsey Newsagency to check their tickets.
“Imagine realising you’ve won a $200,000 boost to your bank account before the end of the work week! Your holiday destination daydreams could soon become a reality.
“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $2.92 million for draw 1605, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $4.14 million for draw 10754.
In 2022, 274 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $80.49 million.
Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot are raffle-style games, which means there is a set number of tickets in each draw. As each ticket number is unique there is no sharing of prizes.
