A lucky Lismore local is unaware they are a multi-millionaire after winning a whopping $3.3 million over the weekend in the Saturday Lotto.

The mystery ticketholder held one of three division one winning entries in the weekend draw and looks forward to a total prize of $3,333,333.34.

The winning entry was purchased at Lismore Square Newsagency located in Lismore Square Shopping Centre.

The Lott spokeswoman Anna Hobdell urged anyone who purchased a ticket from the Lismore newsagency to check their tickets immediately, and contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the prize claim process.

“Our elusive winner is likely oblivious to the fact they’ve won more than $3.3 million in the

weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw,” she said.

“Just imagine how exhilarating it would be to discover you were $3.3 million richer.

“Your plans for the rest of the year and into the future would change in a heartbeat.”

The division one win follows a $2.1 million Saturday Lotto prize claimed by two Lismore mates in January, making it the second major lottery win of the year for the Northern Rivers region.

Lismore Square News owners David and Kristin Forsyth said they hoped the store’s winning streak would continue, after selling their second division one winning ticket in less than two months.

“The store will be buzzing with excitement, and we can just imagine all our customers will be so happy for us and the mystery winner,” Mr Forsyth said.

“It’s a wonderful time for our mystery winner and the Northern Rivers region, which has seen quite a few big wins as of late.”

The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4549 were 5, 39, 26, 2, 28 and 31, while the supplementary numbers were 7 and 8.

Across the country, there were three division one winning entries in Saturday’s draw – two in New South Wales and one in Western Australia.
