A West Ryde Oz Lotto player could happily hop and skip their way to the weekend if they were to check their ticket and realise their $10 million win.
The unknown New South Wales player was the only division one winner in last night’s Oz Lotto draw 1474 and has taken home the entire $10 million jackpot.
Being an unregistered ticket, officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winning player with their exciting news and must wait for the ticketholder to come forward and claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at West Ryde Marketplace News, Shop 14, 14 Anthony Road, West Ryde.
West Ryde Marketplace News manager Manoj Jindal said they were over the moon to have sold a division one winning entry and hoped the winner checked their ticket sooner rather than later.
“We awoke this morning to this incredible news and are so excited to have sold the division one winning entry in last night’s Oz Lotto draw,” he said.
“We’re going to have a staff party today to celebrate, but we really hope the winner comes forward!
“The store sold a Saturday Lotto division one winning entry last year, but this is the largest win we’ve ever had.
“We’re waiting with bated breath. There’s a real buzz around the store this morning.
“We’re already told anyone that will listen, ‘Check your tickets’ because we know this win is going to change someone’s life.
“Thank you so much for this fantastic news. It’s really made my day.”
