“The winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe. They should contact our Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prizes.”

Ms Orr said more than 77,000 players nationwide won prizes in Saturday night’s Lotto and Plus draws, including the Match 5+Bonus winner and the Lotto Plus 2 top prize winner.
