A Rowville resident or visitor is certain to have a 2019 to remember – if only they would check their TattsLotto entry and discover they are more than $1.7 million richer.

The mystery winner held one of the 17 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3907, drawn Saturday 29 December 2018. Each entry takes home a division one prize of $1,764,705.89.

The ticket is unregistered, so Tatts officials have no way of contacting the winner with the life-changing news and have to wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.

The winning entry was purchased at Stud Park Lotto, Kiosk 3, Stud Park Shopping Centre, Stud Road, Rowville.

Stud Park Lotto owner Kun Lao said he was very happy and excited when he discovered the outlet had sold another division one winning entry.

“It’s been a long wait! The last time we sold a division one winning entry was in 2016 so we are thrilled!” he exclaimed.

“We have sold three division one winning entries over the past five years and we will be celebrating this exciting news with our customers!

“We are encouraging all of our customers to come in and check their tickets to see if it could be them!”

As well as selling a division one winning entry worth $1.7 million in Saturday’s TattsLotto draw, Stud Park Lotto sold a syndicate share as part of a 99-entry group syndicate that also won division one in the weekend’s draw.

The syndicate entry worth $19,200.97 is also unregistered, so Tatts officials have been unable to confirm the win and unite them with their prize.

Tatts spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said the unclaimed Rowville prize was the only Victorian prize from Saturday’s Megadraw left to be claimed.

“The $30 million TattsLotto Megadraw crowned seven Victorian millionaires across the state,” she explained.

“Many of these winners told us they planned to use their $1.7 million windfall to travel, buy new homes and to share their good fortune with their family.

“This Rowville prize is the last piece of the puzzle.

“We hope our mystery winner comes forward soon so we can unite them with their prize and they can see in the New Year a newly-minted millionaire!”

“We are encouraging everyone in the area who had an entry into Saturday’s draw to check their tickets as it could be them! If you discover you are holding the winning entry, keep it in a safe spot and give us a call on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”

So far this calendar year, Monday & Wednesday Lotto and TattsLotto have created 193 millionaires across Australia.

The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 3907 on Saturday 29 December 2018 were 9, 33, 39, 30, 2 and 17, while the supplementary numbers were 22 and 41.

Across Australia, there were 17 division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 3907, including eight in Victoria, two in Queensland, two in New South Wales and the ACT, four in Western Australia and one online.

The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 196 so far this financial year, including 81 won by Tatts customers.

In the 12 months to 30 June 2018, there were 290 division one winning TattsLotto entries across the Lott’s jurisdictions, which collectively won more than $302.7 million.
