One Bribie Island man is $1 million richer after finding out he held a division one winning entry in The Lott’s Weekday Windfall on July 1.
The lucky resident, who held one of four winning entries nationally in draw 4410, purchased his 12-game winning ticket from Nextra Bribie Island (Shop 10-11, 239 Goodwin Drive). So far in 2024, there have been eight division one winning entries in the City of Moreton Bay worth more than $10.52 million in prize money.
Upon hearing about his win, the man confessed to feeling overwhelmed and awestruck by the winning news. “This is unreal,” he gasped. “This is the first time in my life that I’ve won something apart from $20. I’ve never, ever, ever, won anything more than $20! God, I can’t wrap my head around it. I missed some calls earlier this morning and I thought to myself, ‘Gosh! Who is bloody ringing at this hour!’. “I then saw a text from The Lott urging me to check my Weekday Windfall tickets and to call in. I went straight to the computer to check the results.”
The man then told his partner that someone in Queensland had won $1 million and that he thought it was them!
“Everything is going through one ear to the other. I’m just so shocked,” he said. “This is the best phone call – once in a lifetime! I think I need to sit down and process it all. I seriously need a week. I’m struggling to come down from cloud nine. “Thank you so much.” With $1 million about to boost his bank account, the Queenslander shared it had come at the most ‘perfect time’ and would help him come out of a “rough trot”.
