Gold Lotto participants have been urged to check their numbers after a winning ticket was purchased on the Sunshine Coast.
The mystery player held one of the five division one winning entries in Gold Lotto draw 4485, which was drawn on Saturday, July 12.
Each division one winner pocketed $1.008 million.
However, the winning entry on the Sunshine Coast was not registered to a player card or online account, meaning that officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the winner and instead must wait for them to check their tickets and come forward.
The ticket was purchased at Seasons IGA Caloundra.
Store manager Ashlee Withers said she was delighted to have sold the outlet’s first division one winning ticket.
“It’s so exciting to hear that a local or visitor from the area has won a major prize in the weekend’s draw,” she said.
