It’s been more than a week since a Cootamundra resident scooped up a life-enhancing $200,000 in a Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw, but the mystery winner has yet to check their ticket and discover their newfound fortune.
The Riverina player currently holds the first prize-winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1712, drawn Thursday 14 August, which will see them bag a huge $200,000 should they come forward.
The winning entry was purchased at Mawhood Supa IGA Cootamundra, 145-149 Parker Street, Cootamundra.
Mawhood Supa IGA Cootamundra store manager Rachel Janssen shared she hoped the mystery winner would come forward soon and could start enjoying their prize.
“We’re over the moon to hear we’ve sold a first prize winning entry, and we’re hoping it’s a regular customer who comes forward to claim the prize,” she said.
“We can’t believe it’s been an entire week, and we still haven’t heard anything from this winner.
“I noticed there’s been lots of wins around the Riverina area as of late, and I’m thinking the community must be on a winning streak.
“Congratulations to our mystery winner. We hope you check your ticket soon and can enjoy your awesome win.”
The Lott spokesperson, Eliza Wregg, said she couldn’t believe it had been an entire week, and the mystery winner still hadn’t come forward.
“Someone is most likely walking around completely oblivious to the fact they’re holding a first prize-winning ticket worth $200,000,” she said.
“We’re encouraging anybody who purchased a Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot ticket from Mawhood Supa IGA Cootamundra to check their ticket as soon as possible because they could be the mystery winner we’re searching for!
“Just imagine discovering you were holding a winning ticket worth $200,000? You could book that dream holiday, pay off the mortgage, or even help your nearest and dearest loved ones.
