One year on from the draw, the mystery division one winner from Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3787 has yet to claim their prize, demanding the question - where are they?
The winning entry purchased from Nextra Capalaba Park News, shop 133, Capalaba Park Shopping Centre, Capalaba, was one of the 11 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3787 on 4 November 2017. Each entry won a division one prize of $369,059.13.
As the entry is not registered to a Winners Circle card, Golden Casket officials have no way to contact the winner to deliver the dream-come-true-news and have to wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
Golden Casket spokesperson Matt Hart urged anyone who bought an entry into that draw to check their tickets as they could be over $300,000 richer.
“On the one year anniversary of the Saturday Gold Lotto draw, we are making another public appeal in the hope that our mystery division one winner will be united with their prize,” he said.
“We are hoping that everyone keeps an eye out for any unchecked Saturday Gold Lotto tickets that could be lying around their home.
“The winning ticket could be anywhere, from a car glovebox, to a junk draw, to a reusable shopping bag.
“Think of how the past year would have been different if you discovered your division one win last November!
“In Queensland, customers have up to seven years to claim their prizes – so there’s still time, but the clock is ticking.”
Mr Hart said it was a great reminder of the importance of registering tickets to a Winners Circle card so all prizes are secure and winners can be contacted directly with the good news should they win.
Nextra Capalaba Park News owner manager Leigh Harrison said she was eager to unite the winner with their division one prize.
“It was great to have sold that division one winning ticket and we can’t wait to unite our winner with their prize!
“It’s been almost a year, so we are really hoping we can find the winner as soon as possible so that they can start enjoying their life being more than $300,000 richer!
“We tell all of our customers about the mystery winner and have encouraged them to check their old tickets in the hope that our winner discovers their division one win!”
