Two Victorians have won almost $1 million - but neither know yet
Two Victorian lotto players are sitting on a win of almost $1 million - and don't know it.
Lottery officials are calling on players in the state to check their TattsLotto tickets after two division one winning entries, each worth $952,000, remain unclaimed from the weekend's draw.
The winning entries are unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact them.

But they do know where they were bought.
Both were picked up in the north of the city.
One was bought at Meadow Heights Lotto & News, Shop 11A, Meadow Heights Shopping Centre, 55 Paringa Boulevard, Meadow Heights.
The other entry came from at IGA Supermarket Thomastown, 122 Main Street, Thomastown.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said the winners have spent the week not knowing they'd scooped the huge sum.

"It's likely our latest division one winners have gone about their week as normal with no idea they've won division one," she said,
"We've made contact with most of the division one winners in the weekend's draw but are yet to confirm the life-enhancing news with these two mystery Victorian winners.
"We're urging all players who purchased a TattsLotto ticket from Meadow Heights Lotto & News or IGA Supermarket Thomastown to check their tickets.
"Imagine how exciting it would be to realise you've won more than $952,000.
"Your plans for the rest of 2024 could change in a heartbeat."
The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4489 on 27 July 2024 were 4, 37, 45, 27, 11 and 20, while the supplementary numbers were 15 and 10.
