After lotto wait, Corio winner claims the prize

An anonymous Corio family has claimed a lotto prize of $830,431.50 following a two-week search for the winner after a draw on 19 August.
The winning family had a division one winning entry but their contact details were incomplete, so officials had no way of reaching them.
Finally, the winner came forward, but how they will spend their prize will remain a mystery as they chose to remain completely anonymous and celebrate privately.
Tattslotto could not reveal any more about the winners, who purchased their ticket from Corio Village Lotto.
The store’s owner Jacek Karpinskisaid was thrilled to have sold the winning entry.
“We are so excited that the winner has come forward to claim their prize,” he said.
“The mystery had lots of people talking all through the shopping centre and we’ve had plenty of customers coming in to check if it was them.
“Congratulations to the winner on their win, we wish them all the best with their prize.”
