A West Sunshine shopper has belatedly discovered she is more than $500,000 richer, after winning last week’s Tattslotto draw.
The woman held one of seven division one-winning tickets in the January 12 draw, but attempts by Lotto officials to contact her were unsuccessful for five days after the draw.
Each winner took home $544,506.45. The woman realised she held a winning ticket and contacted officials on January 17.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased the entry at Glen Gala Lotto in West Sunshine.
