One month on, Tatts officials are still searching for the mystery winner of over $1 million from a TattsLotto draw in December who is yet to come forward to claim their prize.
The Melbourne entry was one of four division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3905 on Saturday 22 December 2018. Each entry took home a division one prize of $1,018,499.24.
The winning entry is not registered to a Tatts Card, which means Tatts officials have no way of contacting the winner to break the life-changing news.
Tatts is urging anyone with an entry in a December TattsLotto draw to check their tickets as soon as possible!
The winning entry was purchased at Coburg Hub Lotto, Shop 2, 403 Sydney Road, Coburg.
Coburg Hub Lotto owner Prokash Kundu said he was eager to unite the winner with their prize.
“We’ve been telling everyone to check their tickets!” he laughed.
“A few people have been speculating about the delay in our winner coming forward.
“Are they on holidays? Or have they lost the ticket?
“We hope not! We hope they come forward soon to claim their prize so we can celebrate in store!”
Tatts spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said she was eager to confirm the division one win with the state’s mystery millionaire so they could start planning how to spend their life-changing windfall.
“Our winner could be completely unaware that they are now over $1 million richer! Imagine how your plans for 2019 would change if you discovered you are a newly-minted millionaire!” she exclaimed.
“You may not think it’s possible that you could be the unregistered division one winner we are looking for, but if you purchased an entry in last month’s TattsLotto draw that you haven’t checked yet, you’re in with a chance!
“We’re urging all players to check their entries as soon as possible and if you discover you are holding the unregistered division one winning entry to contact Tatts on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
