The happy winner held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4663, drawn Saturday, March 28.
Each entry took home a division one prize of $2,857,142.86.
As the ticket wasn’t registered to The Lott Members Club, lottery officials had been unable to contact the elusive winner.
Instead, they had to wait until the ticketholder checked the ticket and came forward.
How the winner plans to enjoy their life-changing windfall will forever remain a mystery, as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
The winning entry was purchased at Clarks News & Lotto in Tocumwal.
Owner Ross Clark shared he was over the moon to sell his third ever division one winning entry in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
“My first thoughts were, ‘Wow! How exciting!’ when I found about the winning news,” he said.
“Hopefully, this win will spread a little hope, and our customer will get excited.
“Congratulations to our winner. We hope this win brings you great joy.”
The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said that while we may not know how the winner plans to enjoy their prize, there is no doubt it has put a smile on their face.
“However our winner plans to enjoy their prize, we hope it continues to bring a smile to their face,” she said.
