Search underway for mystery Gold Coast Lucky Lotteries winner yet to claim $100k prize after two months

A search is underway to find a mystery Gold Coast Lucky Lotteries winner who is sitting on $100,000 in unclaimed prize money. The prize-winning entry was drawn in January this year, and the winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize. The Pines News and Gifts shop at Elanora sold the lucky ticket and store owner Anthony Milligan urged all his customers to check their tickets. “We’ve been telling all our customers to check their Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot tickets,” he said. “Maybe the winner is away on holidays and has forgotten to check their tickets. “It’s always so exciting selling a major prize winning ticket, but we always hope the winner comes forward.” The news and gift shop has sold four major prize winning entries over the past decade. “We hope the mystery winner checks their ticket soon and can enjoy an amazing 2026,” Mr Milligan said. “I’m sure it will make a memorable year.” The Lott spokewoman Eliza Wregg said the mystery winner could be enjoying their $100,000 windfall, but they needed to check their ticket. “Imagine going two entire months not knowing you won $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries,” she said. “That’s the reality for one Gold Coast player.” “Someone in the area could be in for an early Easter treat, but first, they need to check their ticket and discover the winning news. “We’re encouraging anyone who purchased a ticket from The Pines News and Gifts to check their entries because they might be the mystery winner we’re searching for.” Ms Wregg urged people to check their house and car for unchecked lottery tickets that might be hiding in plain sight.
