Mystery Sydney local walking around with winning $1.8m ticket after sensational Saturday Lotto win, officials urge winner to come forward

A Sydney local has claimed Saturday Lotto’s whopping $1.8m jackpot prize – but the elusive lottery player doesn’t even know they’re walking around with the million-dollar ticket.

The pair of NSW winners – including a Merrylands woman – held two of the 11 Division One winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4687, drawn on Saturday.

Each winner pocketed $1,818,181.82

But while the Merrylands woman wasted no time popping a bottle of bubbly with her husband after discovering her win, the other mystery player – from Belmore, southwest of Sydney’s CBD – is yet to come forward.

Lottery officials are now calling on Belmore residents and visitors to check their tickets and see if they are the mystery millionaire.

The mystery winner purchased their winning ticket at the Belmore Newsagency.

But with no registered player account, lottery officials have no way of contacting this person to urge them to claim their reward.

The Lott spokesman Khat McIntyre said she couldn’t wait to unite Belmore’s latest division one winner with their prize.

“Our mystery winner is likely oblivious to the fact they won $1.8 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw,” she said.

“We’ve already shared the life-changing news with the Merrylands winner, and we’re ready to do the same with this mystery Belmore player.

Upon hearing news of her win, the Merrylands woman said she celebrated with a bottle of champagne.

“When I checked my ticket on Sunday morning, I couldn’t even process it,” she said.

“We had a bottle of bubbles to celebrate but other than that, we’ve just been going on with our daily life because it’s barely sunk in.

“I don’t always play, just when I see a big jackpot or have a bit of a win on an old ticket.

“Something we’ve always wanted to do is buy a house and now we can! It’s incredible.

“Thank you so much!”

The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4671 on 25 April 2026 were 45, 12, 17, 3, 11 and 14, while the supplementary numbers were 32 and 21.
