A Chambers Flat grandfather has been left lost for words after realising he’d won almost $320,000 in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The Logan resident was among the 17 division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4265, drawn Saturday 4 June 2022. Each scored a division one prize of $319,939.66.
Confirming his win with an official from The Lott, the elated man joked while his grandchildren had already submitted their wish list, he also had a few things in mind to treat himself.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for over 30 years!” he proclaimed.
“I can’t believe it. I won! It’s like a dream.
“I saw the numbers come up and I thought, ‘you beauty’, I’ve been using them since the day I started playing lotteries.
“Look, I love my family, and I’ll do whatever I can to help them. My grandkids know exactly what they want.
“They’ve also told me exactly what I need to do – buy myself a new car, specifically a Mustang.
“If it isn’t loud, I think my grandson will be very cross with me!
“The rest of the win will go to my retirement fund and to travelling around the parts of Australia I haven’t seen yet.
“This is incredible. Thank you so much!”
The man’s winning marked System 9 entry was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
