Whitsunday residents and visitors are being urged to check their Saturday Gold Lotto tickets, with a mystery player yet to claim a $2.5 million prize from the weekend’s draw.
The unregistered ticket was purchased at Hickmott’s Supa News in Bowen for Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4605 on 6 September 2025. The winning entry was one of eight division one winners nationally, each scoring $2.5 million.
So far this year, the Mackay and Whitsundays region has celebrated six major lottery wins, worth more than $19 million in total.
Hickmott’s Supa News manager Angela Stevens said the team was thrilled to have sold another winning ticket.
“It’s been a few years since our last big win – we’re so excited! With the Don River Dash and Father’s Day visitors in town, it could be anyone,” she said.
“Our most recent major wins were a $740,000 Saturday Lotto ticket in 2020 and a $2 million win in 2019.
“On behalf of the entire team here at Hickmott’s Supa News, we wish our mystery winner all the very best and can’t wait for you to check your ticket and claim the prize!”
Anyone who purchased a ticket from Hickmott’s Supa News is urged to check it and contact The Lott on 131 868 to claim their prize.
