More than 36 hours after the winning numbers were drawn, officials from The Lott are yet to hear the winning cries of joy from Tuesday’s mystery Oz Lotto division one winner who scored $30 million.
The elusive Brisbane player held the only division one winning entry nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1481, drawn Tuesday 5 July 2022.
Unfortunately, the multi-million-dollar winning entry was not registered to a player card, which means officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner. Instead, they’re waiting for the ticketholder to check their ticket and make contact.
The Brisbane winning entry was purchased at Metro News on 1st, Shop 1002, Level 1, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, 318 Moggill Road, Indooroopilly.
Metro News on 1st senior staff member Carol Hinds said the team was over the moon to have sold an Oz Lotto division one winning entry.
“Oh my goodness! This is amazing! It feels like I just won!” she laughed.
“This news is so exciting!
“To have sold a division one winning entry is fantastic, and we just hope the winner comes forward soon to claim their prize.
“We’d like to wish them all the best and congratulate them on their life-changing win.
“I can’t wait to tell all of our staff, and we’ll definitely be celebrating the news for the rest of the week.
“I know all of our customers will be so excited to hear what’s happened too!
“If you purchased an entry into the draw from us, check those tickets!”
The Lott spokesperson James Eddy said it was remarkable to think one Queensland player was oblivious to the fact that they were now a multi-millionaire.
“With a winning entry tucked away in their car, wallet or stuck on their fridge door, one Queensland player is walking around completely oblivious to the fact their life has changed!” he exclaimed.
“There are 30 million reasons why Brisbane players should check their tickets today.
“Imagine discovering you’re suddenly a multi-millionaire! You could immediately retire, take the trip of your dreams or spoil those nearest and dearest to you.
“All you need to do is visit TheLott.com, scan your ticket on The Lott app or visit one of our friendly retailers to find out if you are our division one winner.
“The next step is to give us a call on 131 868 if you think you are holding one of those division one winning entries.
“We are in the business of paying prizes and we can’t wait to unite these winners with their windfalls, so we urge all players to check their tickets!
“In Queensland, players have seven years to claim their prizes, so there’s plenty of time, but we’d love to speak to our incredible winner as soon as possible.”
