New South Wales Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot players are being told to check their Lucky Lotteries tickets, with one-million dollars in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot 1st Prizes yet to be claimed.
There are currently five unclaimed Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot 1st Prizes nationally, each winning entry is worth $200,000 and was purchased at an outlet in New South Wales.
Remarkably, four of the unclaimed $200,000 winning entries were purchased in Sydney suburbs, while one was purchased further north in Toronto.
As the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot continues to smash records and reach unprecedented heights of more than $40 million, NSW Lotteries officials are eager to unite these five players with their $200,000 prizes.
Since these winning tickets were not registered to a Players Club card at the time of purchase, NSW Lotteries officials have no way of making contacting with the mystery winners to unite them with their prizes.
NSW Lotteries spokesperson Lauren Cooney said all five winning entries have won in draws in the past six weeks.
“The oldest unclaimed Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot 1st Prize was won last year, on Christmas Eve,” she revealed.
“Imagine how different that player’s Christmas and start to 2019 could have been if they knew they’d just won $200,000!
“We recommended checking wallets, fridges, freezers, underwear drawers, cars, or any odd spot where you may keep your precious tickets.
“We’ve had past winners come forward after finding an old ticket in the back of a drawer, in the central console of their car, and at the bottom of their handbag.
Ms Cooney said New South Wales players have six years to claim their prizes.
“We’re in the business of paying prizes so we never lose hope of uniting winners with their prizes,” she said.
“If you purchased an entry at any of these outlets leading up to the draws in question, you could be one of our mystery winners!
“If you discover you’re the owner of a winning ticket, give us a call as soon as possible on 131 868 to start the prize claim process.”
Ms Cooney encouraged anyone buying an entry into the upcoming Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draws to register their entries to a Players Club card to ensure they don’t miss out on any winnings.
“Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot continues to reach record-breaking, unchartered territory,” she said.
“When you register your entry to a Player’s Club card, your prizes are secure and we can contact you directly with the good news of a big win!”
