Search for winning $1m Lotto ticket sold at Waikiki newsagency THE search is on for a mystery millionaire who bought a winning lotto ticket from the Waikiki Village Newsagency 12 months ago. With the countdown on for this weekend's $20 million Saturday Lotto Superdraw, Lotterywest is trill trying to find the winner of a Division 1 Lotto ticket worth $1,052,631 from the Saturday Lotto draw held on 11 August, 2012. The ticket will expire on Monday, August 12. Manager of Waikiki Village Newsagency Faye McKinlay said there was only days left to claim the prize and reminded customers to double check their secret hiding spots. "There has certainly been a lot of chatter surrounding this missing ticket including a few funny stories shared," Ms McKinlay said. We're just going to take every opportunity over the next week to remind people about it, just in case they might be holding the ticket. Lotterywest spokeswoman Pina Compagnone said a long wait for a Division 1 Lotto winner was unusual, but there had been some big winners who waited a while to claim their prizes in the past. "In 2009, we had a female university student in her 30s came forward to claim an outstanding $13 million Oz Lotto ticket, which for 10 months had been sitting in her cupboard draw, almost forgotten about," Ms Compagnone said. The woman had received the ticket as a gift from her father. She hadn't bothered to get the ticket checked and had left it, almost forgotten about, with a bundle of other tickets yet to be checked in her cupboard draw. WA Lotto players have 12 months from the date of the draw to claim a lottery prize. All unclaimed prize money is returned to the WA community through Lotterywest grants.
