Yahoo Lifestyle Millionaire Lotto winner at large in small Aussie town
Monday & Wednesday Lotto players are being urged to check their tickets after a small supermarket sold the winning entry.
One lucky Aussie has become a millionaire having taken out Monday night's major lotto prize, but the winner remains a mystery with players being urged to check their tickets.
The million-dollar surprise is still waiting to be claimed by the oblivious lottery champion who scored themselves the only successful division one entry in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4374 earning a princely $1 million windfall.
The winning numbers in the Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw on Monday 18 March 2024 were 2, 4, 16, 27, 34 and 39, while the supplementary numbers were 11 and 18. The division one winning entry was purchased at Foodworks in Gundagai, a small country town in NSW.
The winning entry is unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact the winner to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
'Mystery winner could be anyone walking around the town'
Gundagai Foodworks & LPO supervisor Katie Morris said her team was ecstatic to have sold a division one winning entry and couldn’t wait to unite their customer with their prize.
"This is such exciting news for a small country town like Gundagai! We’re definitely in awe this morning after realising that our outlet had sold an entry worth $1 million," she said.
"The mystery winner could be anyone walking around the town, or it could’ve been a visitor passing by. We sure do hope they check their ticket soon and come forward to claim their prize.
Aussies celebrate mega lottery wins
Last month, a woman’s 30-year-old dream became reality after she scored an incredible $1 million Lotto prize. The Melbourne woman revealed she saw the winning numbers in a vision "many years ago".
Meanwhile another woman became $5 million richer after she “accidentally” purchased a Powerball ticket. The Queensland player from Bahrs Scrub revealed that her husband “normally” bought their lotto entries but because of some issues while trying, she jumped online to do it instead.
