The Lott are urging lotto players to check their old tickets as they have no way of contacting potential winners.

James Eddy from The Lott told 9 News that an old, unchecked ticket could change someone’s life.

"There's millions of reasons to dig around the house, car, or even old shopping bags for potentially life-changing tickets," he said.

"We've had winners come forward in the past having found an old ticket under the fridge, in the back of a drawer, or tucked away in the glovebox of their car.”
