Lotto draw 4501 Chermside.The other division one winning entry from Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4499 on Saturday 31 August 2024 Each division one winning entry scored $2.5 million.Lottery officials are calling on players in Brisbane to check their Gold Lotto tickets after two division one winning entries One of the division one winning entries was purchased at Nextra Express Chermside and was one of the four division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4501 The other division one winning entry was purchased at The Store on Eagle and was one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto The winning entries are unregistered which means officials from The Lott have no way of contacting the ticketholders and instead must wait for them to check their tickets and come forward The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said two mystery players had most likely gone about their days with no idea they’d each taken home $2.5 million from recent Saturday Gold Lotto draws “Imagine going to bed not knowing you’ve won $2.5 million in Saturday Gold Lotto That’s the reality for two mystery Brisbane players after scoring division one in recent draws,” she said “While we’ve been unable to confirm the division one win with the winners we’re sure that when they check their ticket and discover their news “We’re encouraging everyone to check their entries because they might be one of the two newly-minted multi-millionaire we’re searching for “If you think you’re holding a very valuable entry please call The Lott on 131 868 to start the process of claiming your prize “This is a great reminder to all lottery players to register your ticket to an online account or players card because if you scored a life-changing prize we could call immediately after the draw with the exhilarating news.” Nextra Express Chermside owner Shannon Hickey said he and his team were ecstatic to have sold another multi-million-dollar winning entry after selling the $100 million Powerball winning entry last month “If we’re not the luckiest store in Brisbane this year We’re so pleased to have sold another division one winning entry to one of our customers,” he said “Ever since we’ve sold the mammoth $100 million winning entry in a recent Powerball draw we’ve had customers come in for a chat and to take a selfie with our poster “We hope our mystery division one winner from the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw checks their ticket and comes forward soon to claim their life-enhancing prize “On behalf of the entire team at Nextra Express Chermside and Nextra Chermside we wish our mystery winner all the best and can’t wait until they discover their newfound fortune!” The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4501 on 7 September 2024 were 16 while the supplementary numbers were 26 and 41 there were four division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4501 – two each in Queensland and Victoria The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 306 so far in 2024 including 72 won by Golden Casketcustomers Hamilton and Chermside suburbs in North Brisbane and Yarrabilba in Logan’s LGA have entered the top 10 locations for

remains popular due its proximity to both the Brisbane CBD and the beach,” Bailie said while its inland cousin Yarrabilba entered the list Queensland‘s Moreton Bay region should attract more buyers as Calboolture and Morayfield are on the list “The Moreton Bay region continued to prove its appeal to house buyers with Caboolture taking out the number one position for house sales,” Bailie said rising from the seventh position in Q3 to number one in Q4 Southport now outperforms Surfers Paradise which stayed in the top two for the third consecutive quarter Hamilton and Chermside were the new suburbs that entered the top 10 locations for residential unit sales Bailie said both suburbs recorded some of the fastest growth in the state “Buyers are circling these suburbs because they offer an appealing mix of lifestyle and transport options being both close to the city and close to thriving suburban hubs that offer excellent shopping located 7 kilometres north-east of Brisbane’s CBD is
