More than two weeks after the draw, Lismore’s newest multi-millionaire has come forward to claim their $3.3 million Saturday Lotto division one prize, halting The Lott’s search for the mystery winner.
The New South Wales player held one of the 14 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4549, drawn Saturday 22 February 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $3,333,333.34.
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 been alerted to their good fortune earlier.
Instead, officials from The Lott had been eagerly waiting for the ticketholder to check their ticket and come forward.
However, how the winner plans to enjoy life as a multi-millionaire will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
The winning entry was purchased at Lismore Square News, Shop 78, Lismore Shopping Square, 95 Diadem Street, Lismore.
Lismore Square News owners David and Kristin said they were over the moon to have sold their second division one winning ticket in less than two months.
“We can’t believe our store has done it again! This is our second division one winning ticket in two months, and we can imagine the winning streak will continue,” David said.
“The store will be buzzing with excitement, and we can just imagine all our customers will be so happy for us and the mystery winner.
“It’s a wonderful time for the Northern Rivers region, which has seen quite a few big wins as of late!
“Congratulations to the fortunate winner! We couldn’t be happier for you.”
