Where oh where is our Willetton winner?

The owner of a $613,000 Saturday Lotto prize assumed to be somewhere in Perth’s southern suburbs is yet to come forward.
 
The illusive ticket from Willetton Newsagency in Riverton matched Saturday Lotto’s 4 April draw numbers - 33, 36, 11, 39 19 and 22.
 
Lotterywest spokesperson Hermione Coleman said all officials could do is wait for the winner to come forward.
 
“The ticket isn’t registered, which means we can’t reach out to the player to tell them the good news,” Ms Coleman said.
 
“In another twist for Saturday Lotto, no one across the country matched the numbers last weekend, which means the game has jackpotted for the first time in almost for years.
 
“This means there’s now $8 million up for grabs for Saturday’s draw.”
 
Thanks to those WA players who purchased a Lotterywest ticket, funds have also been raised to contribute to the COVID-19 Relief Fund.
 
All available profits from Lotterywest tickets, excluding statutory grants, will go towards the Fund which supports organisations and people experiencing hardship due to COVID-19.
