A Gladstone Park resident or visitor is possibly unaware that they are Melbourne’s newest millionaire following a division one win in last night’s Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw.
The mystery winner held one of three winning entries nationally in draw 4049.
Each division one winning entry takes home a prize worth $1 million.
Officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner because the entry was unregistered, and need to wait for the unknown person to come forward.
The winning entry was sold at Gladstone Park Lotto & Service Centre, Shop 165, Gladstone Park Shopping Centre, 8-34 Gladstone Park Drive.
The Lott spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said she was eager to unite the newly-minted millionaire with their prize.
“It’s likely our latest winner is going about their day as normal with no idea they’ve won division one,” she said.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a Monday and Wednesday Lotto ticket from Gladstone Park Lotto & Service Centre to check their tickets today.”
The winning numbers in Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 4049 were 42, 16, 36, 8, 9 and 10, while the supplementary numbers were 44 and 41.
Ms Spencer is urging people to thoroughly check their belongings for the ticket.
“Make sure you check your ticket, which could be in your wallet, handbag, fridge door or car glovebox because the winner could be you and you could be planning what to do with your prize too,” she said.
Contact The Lott on 131 868 if you discover you are holding the winning ticket.
