Just when a Raceview father thought his public holiday couldn’t get any better, he ended the day with a million dollar win after scoring division one in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto.
The Ipswich resident held one of the two division one winning entries across Australia in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 4118, drawn Monday 4 October 2021 – pocketing $1,003,061.50.
Sharing his euphoria with an official from The Lott this morning, the man was still in a state of shock after making the discovery.
“Wow! I still can’t believe it,” the stoked bloke laughed.
“I was woken up by my little one in the early hours of the morning, so I logged into The Lott app and checked the results.
“As soon as I saw I’d won over a million dollars, I thought to myself, ‘is this real?’ and ‘am I being pranked?’
“My family don’t know the exciting news yet. I was planning to ring them later today. My partner won’t believe me!
“This is a day I’ll simply never forget.”
With more than $1 million about to hit his bank account, the Queenslander had some ideas in mind.
“I’d like to put the money towards the house. It would be nice to build a pool for the family as well,” he shared.
“After yesterday’s heat wave, I think it’s the right decision! The kids will think me later.”
It’s the seventh division one win to land in the Ipswich, Lockyer Valley & Somerset region this year. These wins have scored more than $17.6 million in division one prize money.
The jolly winner who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his two System 7 entries online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
The winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 4118 on Monday 4 October 2021 were 18, 43, 16, 39, 11, 32, while the supplementary numbers were 10 and 26.
