A Charters Towers resident could be worth $1m more now with a Weekday Windfall winner yet to claim their prize.
A mystery ticket holder, who holds one of the two division one winning prize entries for the Weekday Windfall draw 4407.
The winning entry was not registered to a player card or online account, meaning officials from The Lott have no way of notifying the winner of their fruitful fortune and must wait for them to check their ticket and come forward.
However, they did purchase the ticket at Cunninghams News, 28 Gill Street, Charters Towers.
Owner Narelle Jones said it was “marvellous” that the winning ticket holder had purchased it from her shop.
“It’s been a while! May 2017 was the last time we sold a division one winning entry,” she said.
“This will mark our sixth winning entry during my twenty-five years of owning the store.
“Congratulations to our winning customer! Well done and thank you for shopping at Cunninghams News.”
The winning numbers in Weekday Windfall draw 4407 on Monday 24 June 2024 were 17, 41, 29, 5, 8 and 12, while the supplementary numbers were 11 and 37.
While it may have been a while since a winner purchased a ticket from Cunninghams News, North Queensland has been on a high for months with a significant number of Lotto winners calling the region home.
The Lott spokeswoman Anna Hobdell said she hoped to unite Queensland’s latest division one winner with their life-changing prize soon.
“Our mystery winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve won a hefty $1m in last night’s Weekday Windfall draw,” she said.
“We’re encouraging anyone who purchased a Weekday Windfall ticket from Cunningham News to check their tickets as soon as possible!
