A North Ipswich man has confessed he didn’t sleep a wink on Saturday night after the bedtime revelation he’d become a Saturday Gold Lotto multi-millionaire.
The Queenslander held one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4621 on Saturday 1 November 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $2.5 million.
“I checked my ticket on Saturday night. I sat down with the wife, and we just kept checking and checking,” the stunned winner explained when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“I kept thinking it must be a joke or a prank. It’s absolutely crazy! I sat up until 3am just checking the ticket over and over. I just didn’t believe it was real.
“I keep saying to my wife – even though it’s been confirmed, we still won’t believe it’s really true until we see it in the bank account.
“I was meant to do a few things today, but I just can’t concentrate.
“You know, I only bought this ticket on Saturday at the last minute and went for a QuickPick. I didn’t use birthdays or anniversaries as I normally do. I just went with a QuickPick and I’m glad I did!
“It will pay off the house. We’ve also always talked about helping family and friends… and now we can.
“I might have a nap and then grab a bottle of champagne to celebrate.”
The man’s winning 18-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
