Imagine winning a life-changing $2.2 million with your best mate!
That’s exactly what happened to two long-time workmates from Queensland who have been splitting Lotto tickets for over 20 years.
They’re now jumping for joy after discovering they were among the lucky winners in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The Unbelievable Moment They Found Out
When one of the winners called his mate to share the news, he thought it was a prank! “I called my mate while he was at work, and he checked the ticket on his phone.
He didn’t believe it at all,” he said. Even their family members were in shock, with one of the winners’ wives refusing to believe the news at first.
Plans for Their Winnings
So, what are they going to do with their winnings? For starters, they’re prioritizing financial freedom and a well-deserved break.
“I’ll pay off the mortgage and go on a holiday for a couple of weeks,” one of the winners said.
With their newfound wealth, they can now travel further and live life to the fullest.
The Winning Ticket
The lucky ticket was purchased at Birkdale News & Lotto, located in Birkdale Fair Shopping Centre on Birkdale Road.
The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4583 were 6, 24, 10, 42, 1, and 30, with supplementary numbers 18 and 16.
If you’re curious, these numbers might just bring you good luck someday!
A Newsagency’s Lucky Streak
Meanwhile, a newsagency in northern Tasmania is celebrating a remarkable stroke of luck after selling two of the nine division one winning tickets in Saturday’s TattsLotto draw.
One of the winning entries belonged to a 12-person syndicate, while the other was a solo ticket that remains unclaimed, leaving a mystery millionaire somewhere in Tasmania.
The Newsagency’s Reaction
Sourav Kumar, owner of Mowbray newsXpress and Lotto, is thrilled for the winners. “We’re very excited.
I just came back from Mowbray newsXpress and Lotto after decorating the store with balloons and posters,” Mr. Kumar said.
“We really hope our mystery division one winner checks their ticket and comes forward soon.” The newsagency is urging everyone to check their tickets, as anyone could be a winner!
