Yet to discover victory: Unaware player wins $1 million Lotto draw

Imagine waking up one day to discover you're a millionaire.

It's the kind of daydream many entertain, but this fantasy may have just become a reality for one lucky New South Wales resident.

The catch? They might still be unaware of their newfound wealth.



In a twist that sounds like it's straight out of a movie, a single Lotto ticket purchased at Foodworks and LPO in Gundagai has turned its owner into an instant millionaire.

The ticket was the only winner in the recent Lotto draw, scooping up the $1 million jackpot.

Yet, the winner's identity remains a mystery, as the ticket was unregistered, leaving officials from the Lott in the dark and unable to reach out.

Katie Morris, the Supervisor at Gundagai Foodworks and LPO, shared her team's elation at having sold the division one winning entry.

'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.’

The winning numbers in the Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 4374 were 2, 4, 16, 27, 34, and 39, with supplementary numbers 11 and 18.



In a similar story, 20 Aussies unknowingly won the lottery and have yet to claim their fortunes.

The unclaimed winnings date back to years ago, and the clock is ticking for these lucky winners. You can read more about the story here.
