A woman from Varsity Lakes has confessed she still gets goose bumps when she thinks about how she is now more than $670,000 richer from winning division one in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The happy Gold Coast resident held one of the six division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3859 on 14 July 2018. Each entry takes home a division one prize of $672,883.61.
When a Golden Casket official made contact with the winner this morning, she admitted she had been standing by the phone waiting to confirm her winning news.
“Wow! Goose bumps! Yahoo,” she exclaimed.
“I found out yesterday morning! I went to the computer and typed in the numbers – I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.
“I was thinking ‘I hope I won $20, that would be great’. So it was very surprising!
“It’s a bit overwhelming!”
The woman in her 50s declared she knew exactly show she would spend her Gold Lotto windfall.
“No more mortgage! That will be great,” she exclaimed.
She also plans to treat her family, who are at the top of her Lotto List, with a holiday.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her 12-game QuickPick entry at NewsXpress Treetops Plaza, Shop 5, 7 Classic Way, Burleigh Waters.
NewsXpress Treetops Plaza owner Jing Li said she was happily celebrating her outlet selling its second division one winning entry.
“It’s exciting. We sold one last year so it’s great to have another one,” she said.
“We’re letting all of our customers know and everyone’s very happy for our winner. We wish them all the very best with their prize!”
