What’s happening?
Australia’s Lotto winners list has grown again, with Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4605 on 6 September 2025 creating eight new millionaires. One of those winning tickets, worth $2.5 million, was sold at Hickmott’s Supa News in Bowen, but the prize has not yet been claimed.
Why it matters
The unclaimed ticket is part of a growing trend of major wins nationwide. Without registration, players can miss out on being contacted directly about their results.
Local Impact
Hickmott’s Supa News manager Angela Stevens said her team was delighted to see another winning ticket sold in Bowen. “We were so excited when we first found out. It’s so nice to have another major lottery win come our way as it’s been a few years since our last one!” she said.
“The winner could be anyone, especially with all the visitors in town for the Don River Dash and Father’s Day. While it would be great if a local won, we’ll be happy for whoever it is.
“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!”
