“That’s amazing! Thank you very much,” he laughed when speaking to an official from The Lott.

“Every time you purchase a lottery ticket, you dream of winning big.
“I’ve always said a $1 million win would make me very happy and here I am!
“As soon as I realised the win was true, I told my wife and she couldn’t believe it. She started shaking everywhere.
“This win gives me the chance to retire early and do something special with my life.
“I will keep working this year and then look to retire.
“My mother-in-law is in Vietnam, and we have some extended family there too that we would love to go visit.

Logan woman comes forward as mystery Gold Lotto winner
A self-proclaimed “unlucky” Logan woman is now raising a glass after snagging a cool $1.2 million in the Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The winning entry wasn’t registered to The Lott Members Club which means officials from The Lott had to wait for the ticketholder to check their ticket and come forward.
“Wow, just wow,” she exclaimed.
“I’m still processing the news. I checked the ticket on Saturday, and I had to check the ticket about 10 times. I just couldn’t believe it.
“I normally play Powerball and Saturday Lotto. In fact, I’ve been playing for 17 years, and I think the most I’ve ever won in my entire life is $90!
“I’ve always just thought I was unlucky in life.
“My partner and I had to go down to see the team at the newsagency today, and they were just dumbfounded.
“I honestly don’t think it will feel real until it’s in my bank account!”
When asked how she planned to celebrate her prize, the Queenslander revealed plans to feast on the winning moment.
“My partner and I are going to go out for lunch at a Korean BBQ place to celebrate!” she revealed.
“In terms of the prize, I think we’ll go on a trip away.”
The winning entry was purchased at Slacks Creek Discount Drug Store, 1/268 Kingston Road, Slacks Creek.
Slacks Creek Discount Drug Store owner Kamal Saini said he was in absolute disbelief when he first discovered his outlet had sold a division one winning entry.
“This is our first division one winning entry that we’ve sold and I’m in absolute disbelief. I had to ask my team to triple check the winning message that popped up on our terminal screen to make sure it was real!” he laughed.
“We’ve started to decorate the store, and we’ve been alerting all of our customers with the winning news this week.
“Our customers are so happy that someone from our community has had their life changed overnight.
“Congratulations to the winner and we’re so happy for you. The division one win is so well deserved, and we hope the win makes your life easier!”
