Lottery officials are calling on Alstonville locals and visitors to check their Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot tickets after a mystery player scored $200,00 in yesterday’s draw but is yet to come forward.

The local Northern Rzivers winner held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1686, drawn yesterday (Thursday, 29 August 2024), and pocketed a total prize of $200,000.

However, as the winning entry is not registered to a player card, officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the ticketholder and must wait for them to check their ticket and come forward.

The 1st Prize winning entry was purchased at Alstonville Newsagency, Shop 2, 79-83 Main Street, Alstonville.

Alstonville Newsagency team member Liz Voss said she couldn’t contain her excitement when she saw the 1st Prize winning memo come across her terminal screen.

“I’ve been working at this outlet for 17 years and the wins just keep getting sweeter,” she said.

“This year has been quite the winning year with several division one and 1st Prize winning tickets sold here.

“We hope our mystery winner checks their ticket soon and comes forward to claim their prize.”

The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said she was urging anyone who purchased a Lucky Lotteries ticket from Alstonville Newsagency to check their tickets today!

“Our elusive winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve won $200,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw,” she said.

“Imagine if the ticket sitting in your glove box, tucked in your purse, or by your bedside table is worth $200,000!

“Make sure you check your tickets, Alstonville, and if you discover you are holding the winning ticket,contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the prize claim process.”
