A Tasmanian resident is now $884,000 richer after winning big in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw, yet they remain unaware of their newfound fortune as lottery officials struggle to make contact. The mystery winner held one of six division one winning tickets nationally for draw number 4551, which occurred on Saturday, March 1, 2025. Each winning entry scored precisely $884,118.73.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Wynyard Newsagency, located at 96 Goldie Street, Wynyard. Aneeka Hall, a member of the Wynyard Newsagency team, expressed her excitement upon hearing the news. "It’s great news! Our community will be ecstatic for our division one winner, and I’m sure they’ll be happy to hear a major lottery win has landed in Wynyard!" she exclaimed.
Hall noted the significance of the win for the community, as it had been 13 years since Wynyard Newsagency last saw such luck, which came from selling a $10 million ticket for Oz Lotto. “We’ve been on the edge of our seats waiting to sell another and couldn’t be happier to have done so now,” she added.
Despite these joyous developments, The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell has reported difficulties contacting the winner to deliver the life-changing news. "I was ready to reveal the life-enhancing news to Tasmania’s newest division one winner earlier this week, but sadly whenever I called the number provided, it just rang out and went straight to message bank," Hobdell lamented. “If you see a number of missed calls on your phone, you could be the mystery major lottery winner we’re trying to contact.”
The winning numbers for the TattsLotto draw 4551 were 13, 11, 37, 12, 3, and 6, with supplementary numbers 44 and 2. Beyond Tasmania, the draw saw six division one winning entries across the country, including two from South Australia, and one each from Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia.
The excitement surrounding this win reflects the broader success of TattsLotto, which has reached significant milestones this year. So far, there have been 323 division one winning entries recorded for the financial year 2025, which includes 117 winners among Tatts customers. Last year was also remarkable, creating 149 millionaires and tallying 316 division one TattsLotto entries collectively winning over $400.2 million.
This latest win brings renewed hope to the community and excitement for potential future lottery players. The Lott is encouraging all TattsLotto participants to check their entries as soon as possible.

The thrill of winning can transform lives, and Wynyard Newsagency is riding high on the success. With Aneeka Hall’s optimistic outlook on the future, she remarked, “There’s no doubt this division one win will be the start of a winning streak, and we will expect many more to come. Congratulations to the division one winner and thank you for supporting Wynyard Newsagency!”
