“This is a great reminder to all lottery players to register your ticket to an online account or player’s card because if you scored a life-changing prize, we could call immediately after the draw,” she said.
“Imagine going to bed tonight not knowing you’ve just won $30 million in Oz Lotto.

“We’re encouraging everyone to check their entries.”
So far this year, 13 Oz Lotto division one winners have scored more than $233 million in prize money.
