ANOTHER day, another unknown millionaire in our patch.

With Riverwood’s $3.88 millionaire still to be discovered since the draw on July 2, we have news that some lucky person in Lakemba is our newest millionaire, following Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 3782.

The winning division one entry was purchased at Lakemba Newsagency & General Store, 40 Railway Pde, Lakemba but because the winning entry was not registered to a Players Club card, NSW Lotteries cannot contact the fortunate punter.

Lakemba Newsagency & General Store’s Amir Khan and Tufatun Nahar. This store sold the winning millionaire ticket in the Lucky Lotteries Monday & Wednesday draw on July 16.

“It’s amazing to know we’ve turned one of our customers into a millionaire,” Lakemba Newsagency & General Store owner Amir Khan said.

“We’ve had lots of people come in to check their tickets hoping they are holding the winning ticket, but we haven’t found the mystery millionaire yet.

“We hope they come in soon.”

NSW Lotteries spokesman Matt Hart said: “Lakemba residents, check your tickets!

“If you bought a ticket in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto, we urge you to check it now! You could be our mystery millionaire.”

The Riverwood ticketholder won the $3.88 million Jackpot prize in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10234.

Mr Hart said no one has come to claim the prize, which is the largest unclaimed lottery prize in Australia so far.
