A Canberra resident or visitor has become a millionaire overnight from winning $1 million in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw – they just haven’t realised yet!
The ACT entry was the only division one winning entry nationally in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 3880, drawn Monday 24 June 2019. It takes home the guaranteed division one prize of $1 million.
As the entry is not registered to a Players Club card, NSW Lotteries officials have no way of contacting the territory’s newest millionaire to break the life-changing news.
The million-dollar winning Monday & Wednesday Lotto ticket was purchased at Butts N Brew, Shop 16, Casey Market Town, 15 Kingsland Parade, Casey.
Butts N Brew owner Dimitri Karagiannidis said he was celebrating selling a division one winning entry and hoped his winning customer would discover their life-changing news soon.
“When I first saw the notification that we’d sold a division one winning ticket I didn’t believe it. But it’s real and I’m absolutely over the moon,” he said.
“We opened just over three years ago and this is our first division one! We hope it’s the first of many. We’re celebrating in store with a bottle of champagne and hopefully the luck will strike again soon.
“Our customers have been very excited to hear we’ve had a winner. We can’t wait for the winner to find out they’re a millionaire. A big congratulations to them. I hope this money makes life a lot easier for them and they treat themselves to a holiday somewhere warm.”
NSW Lotteries spokesperson Matt Hart said he was eager to unite the player with their million-dollar prize.
“We love delivering life-changing news and we can’t wait to break this news to our latest division one winner,” he said.
“If you had an entry into last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw, we promise you it’s worth checking your ticket now.
“You could be our mystery division one winner! Just imagine how your plans for the rest of the year could change after you discover you’re $1 million richer.
“If you realise you are holding the division one winning ticket, contact NSW Lotteries on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
