Unclaimed riches: FIVE lottery winners in the past five weeks yet to come forward
Sydney residents are being urged to check any unclaimed lotto tickets as an $11million winning ticket remains at large.
One lucky Aussie purchased the ticket for Tuesday's Oz Lotto draw at a a Newsagency in the south Sydney suburb of Rosebery, and have yet to claim their winnings.
The ticket holder managed to nab the only division one winning entry in draw 1435, securing themselves the entire jackpot prize of $11,002,697.57.
However, the ticket purchase wasn't registered to a player card, so lottery officials have no way of contacting them.
Rosebery North Newsagency manager Min Chai said the win was “so exciting for us and our community”.
“It’s incredible to see one of our customers walk away with such a massive prize,” he added.
Lauren Cooney, a spokesperson for Lotto Australia, has urged all customers who bought a ticket from the store to check their tickets as soon as possible.
She also said, “We’re certainly hoping to hear from Sydney’s latest multi-millionaire very soon.”
The draw’s winning numbers were 35, 15, 44, 5, 18, 32 and 38, while the supplementary numbers were 42 and 16.
This large unclaimed prize is the fifth winning ticket that remains at large this week.
Other prizes still to be claimed range between $700,000 and $2million, as Sydney-siders are urged to check any tickets that are not registered to player cards.
The suburbs the tickets were purchased in are West Ryde, Mount Hutton, Randwick, Werrington and the $11million ticket from Rosebery.
