Marking her entry with her children’s birthdates has delivered a Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto division one win to a Mudgeeraba mum.
The Gold Coast resident held one of the five division one winning entries across Australia in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 3811 on Wednesday 24 October 2018. Each entry takes home a division one prize of $800,000.
Speaking to a Golden Casket official this morning to confirm her prize, the happy woman confessed she initially thought she had won $8,000, rather than 100 times that amount.
“I’m so excited. I’ve never won anything like this,” she said.
“I just checked this morning to see what the numbers were and I thought ‘those are my numbers!’.
“I thought it was $8,000, which I thought was great, but then I saw it was $800,000. I almost passed out. My husband thought I was joking.
“I still can’t quite believe it.
“Thank you so much. You’ve made my day.”
The regular Gold Lotto player shared she had marked her winning entry with the birthdates of her children.
“Our lucky number is also 24 so it was amazing to think we won on the 24 October,” she added.
“We’d like to do more to the house and renovate it so this will help with that. It will make life more comfortable.”
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her marked System 7 entry online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
