A South Australian resident has just days left to claim their $1 million lottery prize.

The division one winning entry was purchased by an unregistered player at BP Mawson Lakes on the Salisbury Hwy in Adelaide’s north for draw 4325 on September 27, 2023.

But under SA law, lotto winnings must be collected within one year of the draw, and that deadline is looming fast.

If not claimed by Friday, the prize will be forfeited to the Lotteries Commission of South Australia.

“The mystery winner may have no idea they’ve been holding onto a life-changing ticket for nearly 12 months,” the Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre said.

“Despite repeated callouts, no one has come forward, and now there are just days left before the prize is forfeited.

“Since the ticket was unregistered, The Lott cannot contact the winner directly, leaving them to come forward to claim their prize before the close of business day (on) Friday.”

The clock is ticking for the mystery player to come forward to claim their million-dollar prize, McIntyre said.

“It’s hard to believe, but our mystery winner may have been completely unaware they’ve been sitting on $1,000,000 for nearly a year,” she said.

“If you purchased a Monday & Wednesday X Lotto ticket at BP Mawson Lakes, now is the time to check it.

“You don’t want to miss out on such a life-changing opportunity.

“This also serves as an important reminder to register your tickets. If this ticket had been registered, we would have already united the winner with their $1 million prize.

“Make sure you check your bedside table, your handbag, your car glove box or any other hiding spots you may have an old ticket because the winner could be you and you could be planning what to do with your prize.

“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”

The winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday X Lotto draw 4325 on Wednesday 27 September 2023 were 15, 41, 14, 35, 4 and 5, while the supplementary numbers were 20 and 37.
