Quarter million to be claimed

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

An unknown Fountain Gate shopper is among five Victorians to win a $270,000-plus TattsLotto first-division prize on 22 April.
The unregistered ticket-holder, who bought their ticket from Fountain Gate Lotto, has yet to come forward.
The winning numbers were 30, 13, 11, 18, 24 and 21.
“We’re encouraging all customers of Fountain Gate Lotto to take the time out to check their tickets as soon as possible,” TattsLotto spokeswoman Elissa Lewis said.
“If you think you’re holding the division one winning ticket, make sure you keep it in a safe place and contact Tatts immediately on 131 868.”
Meanwhile, the mystery of the unknown Berwick TattsLotto winner of half-a-million dollars has dragged on into a fourth month.
An unregistered ticket-holder who bought a ticket from Berwick Lucky Lotto for the 3707 draw on Saturday, 28 January hasn’t claimed their first-division prize.
If unclaimed within a six-month “grace period”, the $509,614.77 prize will be banked by the Victorian State Revenue Office.
Ms Lewis said it was important for players to register with Tatts, so their winnings were secured and would be contacted directly if they won.
“Imagine how different your life could have been during the past three months with more than half-a-million dollars in your bank account,” she said.

“The winning ticket may be stashed away in a wallet, purse, car glovebox or hiding in plain sight on the fridge.
“There’s more than 500,000 reasons why it would pay to have a hunt around the home for old tickets.”
