An Urraween resident or visitor has started the week as a division one winner after scoring more than $546,000 in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw, though they may not know it yet.

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.

“Our customers may notice our exciting news in-store or on our social media pages. Hopefully, more customers will get their tickets from the luckiest store in the area!

“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was in August 2024 and we’re so excited to have sold another one. This is our fifth major lottery prize in less than two years.

“We can’t wait for our mystery division one winner to check their ticket. I’m sure they’ll be over the moon when they discover their news.”

The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell 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 about to end the financial year with $546,000 in the bank!” she said.
