The Lott spokeswoman Bronwyn Spencer urged anyone with a TattsLotto ticket in Saturday’s draw to check their tickets.
“You may not think it’s possible you could be the division one winner we’re searching for, but if you purchased a registered entry in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw that you haven’t checked yet, you’re in with a chance,” she said.
“We’re urging all TattsLotto players to check their entries as soon as possible and if you discover you are holding the division one winning ticket to contact Tatts on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
