This week, several winners took a little longer to be united with their life-enhancing prizes, reminding us of the importance of being part of The Lott Members Club, which allows you to register your tickets to a player card or online account. When tickets are unregistered, we have no way of contacting the mystery ticketholder and instead, must eagerly wait for the winner to come forward.

Catch up on some winning moments when we paired winners with their prizes:

Maryborough man to clock off for good with TattsLotto triumph

It was two days after the Saturday Lotto draw that a Maryborough man casually decided to check his ticket, only to realise he was holding a division one winning ticket worth $890,000. He shared that the unexpected win completely flipped his Monday upside down in the best possible way.

“My partner and I have been out and about on the weekend, and I haven’t had a chance to check my ticket until today!” he exclaimed.

“It’s definitely a nice surprise for our Monday!

“I’m so excited. I’m used to winning $22 on my ticket; this is next level.

“The first thing I’ll do with the prize is pay off the mortgage and clear any bills. Then I’ll look to retire early.”

Weekday Windfall win fuels new car dreams

In Newcastle, an Edgeworth man also took longer than usual to discover his million-dollar win in a recent Weekday Windfall draw. The stunned winner shared he looked forward to hitting the gas on plans to upgrade his car.

“I had no idea. I checked my ticket yesterday, but it was coming up with a strange message, so I thought it was a mistake,” he shared.

“It’s going to make life much easier.

“I’ll be able to buy a new car! I’m not sure what type, but I certainly have a lot of options now.”

Pooraka woman keeps ambulance on speed dial

Meanwhile, in South Australia, a Pooraka woman clutched her chest, convinced she was experiencing ‘heart failure’ after discovering she’d won $100,000 in a Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw. The winning woman was busy at work when she received the winning phone call from The Lott that sent her heart racing.

“Oh my god! Oh my god!” she screamed.

“I was just about to send off an email and now you’re telling me I’ve won $100,000.

“My heart is absolutely racing right now. I feel like I’m about to experience heart failure; that’s how fast my heartbeat is.

“I was planning on having lunch with my work colleagues, but now I think I’ll go home and surprise my husband with the news.”

And that’s a wrap on another thrilling week! In the event you win a major lottery prize, don’t miss out on receiving a winning phone call from The Lott by joining The Lott Members Club. Wishing you all a winning week ahead!
