The winning entry was purchased at Biota Street News, 155 Biota Street, Inala.

Golden Casket spokesperson Lauren Cooney said while we may never know how the Inala shopper planned to spend their prize we are sure it has changed their life.

“There would be no better way to head into the weekend than discovering you are now a millionaire!” she exclaimed.

“No doubt our winner’s plans for the year will change when their bank account balloons by a few more zeros!

“Other winners tell us they love to share their windfall with their families, go on overseas holidays, pay off their mortgages or buy a new home.

“However our winner chooses to enjoy their windfall, we are sure it has changed their lives forever!”
