A division one Lotto ticket worth more than $950,000 has been left unclaimed for days.
The News Extra store in Central City Toowoomba, Queensland, sold one of the 21 division winning-tickets in the $20million Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4489 last weekend.
The unregistered ticket was bought as part of a 24-person syndicate that scooped $952,380.96.
Owner Tanya Talbot said the newsagent sold tickets to two division one winners from the syndicate with the group also winning ‘multiple prizes’ in other divisions, bringing their prize money to $44,428.62 each.
‘First thing is knowing that they bought a ticket from us, we sold two division one winners that night from that syndicate,’ she told The Chronicle.
‘They need to bring their ticket to us so we can see if they have won.’
Further north in the Sunshine State, a Yeppoon man and fellow division one winner promised to get his wife a dazzling diamond ring, and pay off his household’s mortgage.
‘It just sets us up,’ he said.
