A mystery New South Wales resident has just become an instant millionaire – but they may not even know it yet.
The lotto player held the only winning ticket in last night’s Lotto draw, scoring the entire $1 million prize.
The winner bought the lucky ticket at Foodworks and LPO in Gundagai, a two-hour drive west of Canberra.
However, the ticket was unregistered so officials from the Lott have no way of contacting the ticket holder and must wait for them to come forward and claim their prize.
Gundagai Foodworks and LPO supervisor Katie Morris said her team was ecstatic to have sold a division one winning entry and couldn’t wait to unite their customer with their prize.
“This is such exciting news for a small country town like Gundagai. We’re definitely in awe this morning after realising that our outlet had sold an entry worth $1 million,” she said.

“The mystery winner could be anyone walking around the town, or it could’ve been a visitor passing by.
“We sure do hope they check their ticket soon and come forward to claim their prize.”
The winning numbers in the Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 4374 were 2, 4, 16, 27, 34 and 39, while the supplementary numbers were 11 and 18.
