One of lucky Australian is $15 million richer but may not even know it yet following Tuesday’s Oz Lotto draw.
The player holds one of two division one winning tickets in Oz Lotto draw 1594.
While The Lott officials know the winning ticket was sold at Seraglio Lotto in South Melbourne, exactly who bought it remains a mystery.
He checked his ticket early yesterday morning and found he was a winner, but decided to go to work to distract himself from the excitement.
But, he said, the win was all he could think about.
“Oh my, I can’t believe this has happened. I’m crying,” he said after making contact with lotto officials.
“I’m overwhelmed with it all. It’s so much to process.”
The winning entry was unregistered, meaning lottery officials must wait for the winner to come forward to claim their prize.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said someone had become a multi-millionaire and may not have even realised yet.
“While we’ve been unable to confirm the division one win with the winner, we’re sure that when they check their ticket and discover their news they’ll be jumping for joy,” she said.
