A Springfield resident or visitor has started the new year as a newly minted multi-millionaire after scoring more than $2.1 million in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw, though they may not know it yet.
The mystery ticketholder held one of the 14 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4535, drawn Saturday 4 January 2025. Each division one winning entry can look forward to $2,142,857.15.
If the winner had been part of The Lott Members Club and registered their ticket to a player card or online account, they would have already been alerted to their newfound treasure.
Instead, officials from The Lott are eagerly waiting for the ticketholder to check their ticket and come forward.
The division one winning entry was purchased at Nextra Orion, Shop 29, Orion Springfield, 1 Main Street, Springfield.
Nextra Orion owner Vivek Ganesh said selling a division one winning entry was an incredible way to start the new year.
“This is great news. It truly is a Happy New Year!” he said.
“We’re very excited for the winner and wish them all the best. Hopefully, they come forward soon.
“Amazingly, last year we also sold a division one winning entry in the end-of-year Megadraw.
“We’ll be letting all our customers know the amazing news via social media and in-store.”
The Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre said she hoped the region’s latest division one winner checked their ticket and came forward soon.
“Whoever is holding this golden ticket may have no idea they’re starting 2025 as a brand-new multi-millionaire!” she said.
“As the entry is not registered, it could be someone local or someone visiting the area. It may have even been a Christmas gift.
“We’re encouraging anyone who purchased a Saturday Lotto ticket from Nextra Orion to check their ticket today.
“Just imagine how incredible it would be to discover you’re the winner we’re searching for! With more than $2 million heading your way, your plans for 2025 would certainly be boosted.
“Make sure you check your tickets, and if you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 as soon as possible to begin the exciting prize claim process.”
