About Brunswick St News & Lotto
Brunswick St News & Lotto is a local newsagency and lottery outlet located in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia. As a traditional newsagent, they typically sell newspapers, magazines, stationery, greeting cards, basic office supplies, and small gifts.

Many customers also use this type of store for services like prepaid mobile recharges, MYKI top-ups, and bill payment services where available.
A charge from “Brunswick St News & Lotto” on your bank or card statement usually relates to an in-store purchase made at their Fitzroy location. This might include one-time purchases such as newspapers, magazines, stationery, scratchies, or Lucky Day Lotto tickets, as well as mobile recharge vouchers or transport card top-ups. Because this is a physical retail shop, transactions are generally one-off card payments made at the counter; they do not typically offer online sales or ongoing subscription billing, so any recurring pattern is more likely due to you (or someone in your household) regularly shopping there rather than an automatic subscription. Some banks may briefly show a small “pending” amount or an authorization hold when you tap or insert your card, which is then updated to the final purchase amount when the transaction is completed.
If you’re unsure about a Brunswick St News & Lotto charge, start by checking recent receipts, your email or SMS alerts from your bank, and whether you or a family member visited Brunswick Street in Fitzroy around the transaction date. Compare the posted amount and date with any lottery tickets, scratchies, or stationery purchases you remember. To resolve questions, you can visit the store in person with your bank statement and, if possible, the card used for payment so staff can look up the transaction on their terminal records; their exact trading hours and phone number can usually be found via a quick online map or business listing search. If you still believe the charge is incorrect or fraudulent, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction and request a chargeback investigation.
