Someone in Golden Square that remained unaware about their $20 million lottery win for weeks has finally stepped forward to claim it. The winner is a family that was oblivious of the multimillion win for a good three weeks.
Their winning ticket was the only entry to secure division one on the Oz Lotto draw and win the top prize of $20 million. They made the claim after nearly three weeks revealing that they had forgotten about the ticket and the draw. Since the lucky family hadn’t had their entry registered, therefore, even The Lott could not contact them. Under these circumstances, The Lott could just wait for the winner to come forward themselves after the announcement about the win.

When The Lott finally got hold of the winning family they divulged details of how they finally found out about the win. The family was ecstatic and overjoyed by the $20 million, after all with the win they get multimillionaire status.
The matron of the family reminisced that while straightening up the house they had come across some forgotten, old, and lost lottery tickets. Some tickets in the pile were so old that she had them taken to the newsagency to check. She herself scanned the tickets one by one on the self-checker and out of these one instructed her to go to the counter. Thinking that there was something wrong with the ticket for being too old she brushed the thought of winning any prize.
Nonetheless, since they had heard about the missing Oz Lotto division one entry, she checked again, not keeping her hopes too high. It is after checking it again that it hit the family that they had really won the top prize on the Oz Lotto. The matriarch of the family revealed that they have been feeling anxious ever since it dawned upon them that they won $20 million. It is something that they’ve wanted for a very long time and now that it has finally happened they don’t know how to react.
They are so new to the entire thing that it is still hard for them to digest the fact that they are multimillionaires now. The woman called the day they found out about the win as the best day of their lives that they will never forget.
It was the Golden Square Newsagency located at 303 High Street that sold the winning entry. Bill Roberts who owns the Golden Square Newsagency was happy that The Lott was finally in touch with the division one winners. He revealed that people have been coming to his shop every day for the past three weeks inquiring about the winner.
Everyone in Golden Square inquiring about the winner can be at peace now that the winning family has been united with their winnings.
