A TERRITORIAN has become a millionaire over the weekend after their ticket won more than $1 million in Saturday night’s lotto draw – but they don’t yet know their lucky stars have aligned.
The Northern Territory player held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in Tattslotto draw 4101, drawn on Saturday, November 7, in which each division one winner took home a prize of $1,028,920.70.
The Lott spokeswoman Bronwyn Spencer said the elusive winner could find a few missed calls on their phone after numerous attempts to contact them about the life-changing news.
“We’ve been trying to reach the Territory’s latest division one winner but to no avail,” she said.

“Despite numerous attempts to phone them, they are not answering and could be walking around completely oblivious to the fact they are a millionaire.
“If you purchased an entry into the weekend’s Tattslotto draw from Casuarina Nextra News, make sure you check your ticket as you could be the elusive winner we are searching for.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Casuarina Nextra News in the Casuarina Shopping Centre, and store manager Melissa Peacock was over the moon to find out her store had sold a division one winning entry.
““We are so happy and excited for our winning customer,” she said.
“We will be celebrating in-store today by decorating with balloons. We might even pop some champagne.
“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was many years ago, so we’ve been waiting a long time for this division one win.
“This win is great news for our staff, customers and other outlets in the Northern Territory. Being a smaller population, it’s always fantastic when we sell a life-changing ticket.”
