It’s likely a Wheelers Hill resident has woken up this morning and gone about their Monday as normal without checking their TattsLotto ticket and discovering they’re a newly-made millionaire.
The elusive Victorian held one of the four division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4259, drawn Saturday 14 May 2022. Each entry takes home $1.3 million.
However, the winning entry is unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner to break the life-changing news.
Instead, they must wait for the ticket holder to come forward to claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at Wheelers Hill Newsagency, Shop 30, 200 Jells Road, Wheelers Hill.
Wheelers Hill Newsagency owner Andrew Xue said he ecstatic to have sold a division one winning entry.
“We had a division one syndicate not long ago in the February TattsLotto $20 million Superdraw – the division one wins keep on rolling!” he said.
“In total, we’ve had about eight division one winning entries in the last nine years. We hope there’s even more to come!
“I can imagine the winner will be over the moon when they discover their life-changing news. We’re so happy for them and we hope they check their ticket at our outlet soon!”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she was eager to unite the region’s newest millionaire with their prize.
