Life-changing news awaits one Melton resident or visitor who scored $1.7 million in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw – but first, they need to check their tickets and come forward to claim their prize.
The mystery player held one of the three division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4401 on Saturday 23 September 2023, and takes home a total prize of $1,720,277.26.
The winning entry is unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact the winner to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
The division one winning entry was purchased at Melton Lotto & TSG, 293 High Street, Melton.
Melton Lotto & TSG owner Phong Thai said he couldn’t believe his outlet had sold another division one winning entry in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
“It’s crazy – I’m stoked! I can’t believe we’ve sold yet another division one winning entry. It was only last May that we sold a division one winning entry in Set for Life,” he said.
“Our local community will be absolutely thrilled as well and I’m sure many customers will feel a bit inspired with hopes they’re the next division one winner to take home a million-dollar prize.
“Many of my customers call me ‘Mr Lucky’ because of how many division one winning entries our outlet has sold.
“Remarkably, this is our 62nd division one winning entry in the stores 20 years of operating. Eight of those 62 division one winning entries were sold in the last three years!
“We hope our mystery winner comes to our outlet to check their tickets so we can break the exciting news to them. Congratulations to the winner and we’re so happy for them!”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she couldn’t wait to unite Melton’s latest division one winner with their sensational prize.
“It’s likely our latest winner is going about their week as normal with no idea they’ve won $1.7 million in TattsLotto!” she exclaimed.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a TattsLotto from Melton Lotto & TSG to check their tickets as soon as possible.
“There certainly wouldn’t be any workday blues if the mystery winner checked their ticket today and discovered they’re a newly made millionaire.
“Make sure you check your ticket, which could be in your wallet, handbag, fridge door, or car glovebox because the winner could be you and you could be planning what to do with your prize too!
“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.
“This is a great reminder to all players to register their tickets to a players card or online account because if you scored division one your prize is secure, and we can call you immediately to let you know about the winning news!”
