A man living in Manly, a beautiful suburb in Sydney's Northern Beaches, was feeling down about having to return to work this week. However, his mood quickly changed when he received some surprising news. He had won a whopping $2.1 million in Saturday's Lotto draw!
The lucky winner had no idea about his newfound fortune until an official from The Lott reached out to him. Overwhelmed with excitement, he shared his plans to use the money to purchase his first home. When the official called to confirm his prize, he couldn't contain his joy. "Oh my god! Oh my god! I had no idea," he exclaimed.
As it turns out, the man had two tickets in the draw and had only checked one of them earlier that morning. To his surprise, he had won $28 and thought that was the extent of his luck. He had been feeling a bit down, thinking about going back to work after the holidays, but now he was sweating bullets in disbelief. "You have no idea how much this means to me," he told the official. "I've never had my own house, just always renting. You've made my year. This is the best gift you could have given me for 2025."
The winning entry was one of fourteen division one winning tickets in Saturday's Lotto draw 4535 on January 4, 2025. Each entry was worth an impressive $2.14 million. It's no surprise that the man was over the moon about his win, especially since he had no idea he was holding a winning ticket.
Intriguingly, The Lott recently announced that there are $21.42 million in unclaimed prizes waiting to be claimed. Shockingly, some of these prizes date back to 2018! Among the unclaimed prizes, there are twenty-four major lottery prizes across Australia, with ten of them worth $1 million or more. It's a shame that these prizes have yet to be collected, but it's not too late for the lucky winners to come forward and claim their prizes.
