Lottery ticket of $200,000 unclaimed after two years

A $200,000 winning Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot ticket bought at Yagoona, has remained unclaimed for two years.

The first prize winning ticket was bought at Yagoona Newsagency and drawn on April 15, 2019.
It is one of eight unclaimed division one and major lottery prizes across NSW worth $7.8 million.
These winning tickets were not registered to a player card or an online account, so lottery officials have no way of identifying or contacting the mystery winners to unite them with their prize.
The Lott spokesperson Lauren Cooney said lottery players had six years to claim their division one prizes but hoped no one would wait that long to come forward.
She has urged players to keep their eyes peeled for any old tickets they might find around the home, car or office.
“From old shopping bags and fridge doors, to car gloveboxes and sock drawers, Aussies certainly have a history of storing winning lottery tickets in weird and wonderful places,” she said.
