The hunt is on for one mystery Victorian who has yet to come forward to bag their share of a $5.5 million jackpot from the TattsLotto draw 4443, which took place on Saturday, 17 February 2024.
The winning ticket worth $683,000, sold in Melton, a suburb on the western outskirts of Melbourne, remains unclaimed, sparking excitement and speculation in the community.
Melton Lotto & TSG owner Phong Thai said he was lost for words when he heard his ‘lucky outlet’ had sold its 64th division one winning entry on the weekend.
“I am totally speechless… and I couldn’t find any words to describe how I’m feeling! I couldn’t believe that I had sold yet another division one winning entry so soon,” he said.
“What a way to start the new year! Customers refer to me as ‘Mr Lucky’, and I sure do live up to the name! We have customers who travel interstate and beyond to purchase tickets from my outlet.
“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was in November 2023 in Saturday Lotto. This division one winning entry brings my tally to a total of 64 division one wins.
“Congratulations to the mystery winner and we hope they check their tickets and come forward soon!
“To the Melbourne community, come see Mr Lucky if you want to be the next division one winner!”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she hoped the region’s latest division one winner checked their winning ticket and came forward soon.
“This winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve won a division one prize worth more than $683,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw,” she said.
“We’re urging anyone who purchased a TattsLotto ticket from Melton Lotto & TSG to check their tickets as soon as possible because they could be the mystery winner we’re searching for!
“Can you imagine how life-changing it would be to discover you’ve taken home $683,000? Your plans for the rest of 2024 and beyond would change in a heartbeat.
“Make sure you check your tickets, and if you do discover that you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4443 on 17 February 2024 were 22, 11, 34, 28, 25 and 7, while the supplementary numbers were 32 and 35.
Across Australia, there were eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4443 – five in Victoria and three in New South Wales.
